The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik said today that Republika Srpska has no reason to stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, as he stated, is exactly the same thirty years after the war.

"We have no current or prospective reason to stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina," said Dodik for RS Radio-Television (RTRS).

He stated that RS is unacceptable for Bosniak politics, adding that Bosniak politicians "get up every morning with hatred for RS, and only then are they warmed by love for BiH".

"The system in BiH is such that you cannot choose much and that system is unsustainable," said Dodik.

He also said that "foreigners influence the thinking of certain structures in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina".

"The basic income of (high representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina) Kristijan Šmit is 24.000 euros, then separate life is another 8.000 euros, so he does not pay tax on his salary and all other privileges, which he has in total come to 40.000 euros. No high official of the European Union has such a salary." , said Dodik.

He accused the American Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina of participating, as he said, in waging a permanent hybrid war against the RS, adding that "the following and absolutely incorrect claims" from that embassy that the RS is "allegedly on the verge of financial ruin and going bankrupt" speak of this. .

"All that is an absolute lie. Today, the RS is the least indebted in the region and we, for the first time, returned 250 million convertible marks (around 128 million euros) more this year from our own sources, which reduced our indebtedness from 34 to 32 percent." said Dodik.

He stated that the RS "has money abroad, but unfortunately cannot transfer it under the pressure of American factors, because the American Embassy has threatened the banks in the RS that they will be severely punished if they do this for the Government of the RS".

He added that many companies in the RS also have problems due to American sanctions, which he called unjustified moves by foreign factors, aimed at the RS, including his family.
