The President of the Bosnian entity of Republika Srpska (RS), Milorad Dodik, called on US President Donald Trump and US Vice President James David Vance in an interview for the magazine "American Conservative" to prevent any form of NATO intervention in BiH and to help "overturn all illegitimate and undemocratic decisions imposed by the Joseph Biden administration."
"We do not want war, we want peace. We strive to fight for our human rights through democratic means. Our goal is to restore the original interpretation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. Help us overturn all illegitimate and undemocratic decisions imposed on us by the administration of President Joseph Biden," Dodik said.
He, as reported by the Banja Luka portal Srpskainfo, emphasized that "Trump and Vance can play a key role in ensuring respect for the Dayton Peace Agreement."
"If an agreement cannot be reached with Bosnian Muslims, there is no reason why all three peoples, Croats, Muslims and Serbs, cannot begin a dialogue on the peaceful, non-violent breakup of Bosnia and Herzegovina," Dodik said.
He emphasized that he is ready and eager to engage with the new administration in discussions about all the challenges facing BiH and its future.
He reiterated that Bosniaks in BiH are trying to "impose their rule on the Christian majority in the country," assessing that "the mixed messages from the US administration and criticism of its recent actions come from 'deep state' bureaucrats."
He assessed that the message from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated that Dodik was undermining the institutions of BiH, "was one-sided and expressed support exclusively for the Muslim side."
"I am not criticizing him, but rather inviting him to dialogue. I want him to hear all three perspectives, not just that of Muslims in BiH, who are trying to impose their rule on the Christian majority in the country," Dodik said.
In recent days, the RS government has passed a series of laws, which the Constitutional Court of BiH has invalidated, because they are an attack on the constitutional order of the state.
