False claims that the adoption of the United Nations (UN) Resolution on Srebrenica will declare the Serbian people genocidal and the Republika Srpska (RS) will be abolished do not have the potential to threaten the security of the Western Balkans, foreign policy commentator Boško Jakšić said.
The President of the RS Milorad Dodik said earlier that the entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the case of the adoption of the Resolution on the Srebrenica genocide at the UN, will leave decision-making in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and that they see no point in staying in BiH.
Jaksic told the MINA agency that Dodik is a "personalized danger to peace, not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also in the region", but that his threats "come from an empty gun".
"Dodik thinks he can say whatever he wants, since he is already on the US sanctions list, continues to brag about his friendship with (Vladimir) Putna and threatens secession," said Jakšić.
Dodik's statement that the adoption of the UN resolution on Srebrenica would "bury" Bosnia is, according to Jakšić, "nonsense".
"Dodik, as well as the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, scare the entire Serbian public, argue with the West and act as heroes as fearless defenders of Serbia, but behind everything is their desire to stay in power and raise their personal ratings among the public, who have no idea what is in the UN document it doesn't even write," said Jakšić.
He also pointed out that the claims that the Serbian people will be declared genocidal and that the RS will be abolished are absolutely false.
Jakšić stated that the seven-point UN Resolution nowhere mentions Serbia, the RS, or the Serbian people.
"Such notorious manipulative lies do not have the potential to ignite the Western Balkans," concluded Jakšić.
