The President of Republika Srpska (RS), Milorad Dodik, expressed today in Budapest that the most viable solution for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a separation, in which RS and Herceg-Bosna—predominantly Croat—would achieve independence, leaving the remaining territory to be known simply as Bosnia.
“Let’s ensure there are no borders, allowing the movement and employment of people. We can agree on a unified currency and a singular security policy,” Dodik mentioned during his interview with Radio Television RS (RTRS) and the Srna news agency.
He pointed out that a delineation already exists between the BiH entities, which “does not require conflict,” as well as the Brčko District—“which remains untouched”—emphasizing that the best security approach for the Balkans would be demilitarization, supervised by “a powerful and influential entity.”
Dodik reaffirmed that RS “does not envision a future within BiH,” which he dubbed a failed endeavor and an unviable state.
According to him, there is no desire among the people of BiH “to acknowledge the absence of a collective project capable of uniting everyone in that country.”
He assessed that “Europe views BiH as a fallback option,” intended as a last stop for migrants before they head to the EU, emphasizing that these individuals cannot be sent back to their home countries where their lives are endangered.
Dodik also commented on the financial investments made by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in BiH, revealing that out of the 402 million dollars allocated by USAID over the past four years, around 250 million were utilized for “covert operations.”
He remarked that the America of Republican Donald Trump fundamentally differs from that of Democrat Joseph Biden, accusing the latter’s administration of being “dictators” warranting accountability for “deception.”
He concluded by stating that conditions in BiH “have shifted significantly from what they were seven or eight months ago,” paralleling this with a perception of chaos currently engulfing Europe.
