The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, said that the Intelligence and Security Service of BiH (OBA) is eavesdropping on the state leadership of Serbia, and probably Croatia as well.

"Half a year ago, an order was given for the wiretapping of the state leadership of Serbia. Do you think that they are not doing this in the case of Croatia as well? I believe that it is happening," said Dodik for "Večernji list", an edition for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Assessing that "there is nothing worse for a country, especially one like Bosnia and Herzegovina, to be governed by the secret police", he said that the OBA "functions in such a way as to destroy Serbian and Croatian identity and make enemies out of them".

"The head of the OBA Osman Mehmedagić Osmica calls the deputies, even some Serbs, and then they create conclusions. The Osmica is a direct offshoot of the rigid structure of the SDA. The main characters who do not correspond to that policy are (Dragan) Čović and (Milorad) Dodik," said the RS president. .

According to him, Bosniak member of the BiH Presidency and SDA leader Bakir Izetbegović "wants to get rid of two people, namely Dodik and Čović".

"That went to the foreigners as well, and then they also accepted it that way....OBA is not our service. It is an enemy service to us. That's how we view it," pointed out Dodik.

Asked if it is possible for Zagreb and Belgrade to improve relations, he said that it is necessary, because Croats and Serbs carry a heavy burden of history.

"That cannot be ignored in our mutual relations. But the circumstances have also changed in the last 20 years or so. The Croats got their own state, the Serbs got their two states - Serbia and Republika Srpska," said Dodik.

Stating that relations between Serbs and Croats should be normalized, he said that Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina are trying to help realize the rights of Croats in that country.

This support, he added, is not calculated, but the Serbs do it because they want for themselves what the Croats are looking for.

"This is not to the detriment of the Bosniaks. In no case, but it is an attempt to force the Bosniaks to give up the majorization and annexation of BiH. BiH is not only theirs and they cannot majorize anyone. They certainly won't do us," the RS president stressed.

Speaking about the joint initiative with the HDZ in connection with the proposal on the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to remove foreign judges from that institution, Dodik said that it is mostly obstructed by foreigners who "incite" Bosniaks not to accept dialogue on the subject.

"The Bosniaks don't want anything because of that, they want to keep the mechanisms of the majority of the Croats and the punishment of the Serbs. This is the concept they implement with foreigners. They have succeeded significantly in the majority of the Croats... One nation should elect its highest representatives in the government," he said. .

Dodik told the Croat people in BiH that they have a choice between majorization and disappearance, i.e. that they are facing a choice - whether they will secure their status like the Bosniaks in the Federation of BiH or they will disappear.

The President of the RS again accused the Alliance for Change (SDS, PDP and NDP), which is in power at the state level, of betraying national interests in Sarajevo, adding that because of this, SDS will be punished in the elections with a drastically poor election result.

Speaking about Russia's influence on Republika Srpska, Dodik said that only one thing is certain - that Srpska is not a subject of anyone, and that respect for Russia is no less or more than respect for the EU and the USA.

"We don't have any problems with their policies, but we have problems when they try to manage us here, and then the Russians are condemned. Russia did not create any problems or initiate a political project. And Europe and America did," he pointed out.

According to him, the influence of foreigners, be it Russian, American or European, should be rejected in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
