The President of Republika Srpska (RS) Milorad Dodik said this evening at Trg Republike in Belgrade that the RS is committed to the Dayton Agreement, but that it is possible that the RS will soon have to ask for Serbia's support for a solution to its status.
"It is impossible for us to live with those who have so painfully and corruptly, falsely and secretly tried to impose genocide on us as a permanent feature of this nation, which it is not," said Dodik to those gathered at Republic Square as part of the All-Serbian Parliament.
He added that all this will be done in peace, that there are ways and that it can be done.
Dodik went on to say that all the eyes of the RS are focused on Serbia, stating that for the RS, Kosovo is an integral part of Serbia.
He also said that the Serbian people overcame obstacles in the fight for their identity and the right to "their own decision".
Dodik emphasized the importance of the concept of freedom for the Serbian people, adding that there are no Bosnian Serbs, but only Serbs.
He thanked the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, for, as he said, leading the Serbian people for years in the difficult years of recovery and stabilization of the country.
He emphasized the importance of a strong Serbia for all Serbs, no matter where they live.
He reminded that the joint declaration of the RS and Serbia was adopted today, which, as he stated, clearly analyzes the current state of the Serbian people and points to further steps in the future.
DON'T MISS IT
"The key word is peace, but we should also be combative towards our goals, not allowing others to impose them on us," said Dodik.
He added that Serbia "freed itself from foreign tutelage", pointing out that Vučić ensured that the voice of Serbs was heard in the UN General Assembly, by animating a significant part of the countries not to vote for the Resolution on the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, which "prevented the Serbian people from being labeled as a genocidal people".
