All of America has targeted little Milorad Dodik

 

 Next year, Republika Srpska will continue to fight for its Dayton-regulated position, "Milorad Dodik, the Serbian member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) presidency, told Nezavisne Novosti, quoted by Macedonian online newspaper Lokalno.

He said he was not afraid of US or German sanctions, and noted that Republika Srpska had offered a platform for talks with the BiH Federation on the imposed decisions, but that Bosniaks did not want that.

 "They think they will get rid of Dodik and so someone will come who will agree with everything they say and destroy him," Dodik said.

He stressed that Republika Srpska will not hold talks with Christian Schmid until the Security Council confirms him as High Representative.

"I want to keep our autonomy. "I don't want the big ones to fight on our backs, no matter who they are," Dodik said.

 He added that new legal decisions on the Supreme Court and the RS Prosecutorial Council will enter the RS parliament in late January.

"We will repeal the Ashdown Act, which prohibits the disposal of state property by the RS. "Then we will regulate the ownership of RS, especially forests and agricultural land, with the new law, because we claim that the Constitutional Court was absolutely politically motivated when it made its decision," Dodik said.

Asked if he was worried about the sanctions being announced, Dodik said he had been living in a sanctions regime for several years.

 "This is nonsense, they did everything they could to prevent me from going to the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, whom I supported," Dodik said.

He added that he would never ask for a visa for America again and that his sanctions seemed helpless.

"All of America is targeting a little Milorad Dodik. Sometimes when I'm alone, I tell myself how strong I am. "And to tell you the truth, I'm laughing," Dodik said.

Asked about German sanctions, Dodik said German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock, who is pushing for sanctions, "has no idea about BiH" and "has nothing to do with what is happening here", Serbian news agency Tanjug quoted him as saying.
