Milorad Dodik’s latest allegations, like most of his claims, are absurd and ill-intentioned. The United States and the West are not threatening Republika Srpska or its residents’ aspirations for a peaceful, democratic, and prosperous future, US Embassy in Sarajevo said Wednesday.

#related-news_0 “These threats are coming from Milorad Dodik and those Republika Srpska authorities who are seeking to take away fundamental rights and freedoms of the entity’s residents; enriching themselves rather than working for the prosperity of those they claim to represent; undermining the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Dayton Peace Agreement; and making destabilizing, delusional, and dangerous promises of Republika Srpska independence,” the embassy noted.

They added that the United States has been and remains a friend and partner to all the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“Our policy here is clear and straightforward and has been for 28 years: The United States supports Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multiethnic character as well as its integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions,” the Embassy concluded in their tweet.
