Dodik: The verdict was created by the European Union, Schmidt is the source of disorder in BiH

Banja Luka (Fena) – The President of the Republic of Srpska Milorad Dodik called the ruling of the Appellate Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by which he was definitively sentenced to one year in prison and six years of prohibition from holding public office, politically motivated and a direct attack on the Republic of Srpska.

– The Court of BiH is a political court, and this ruling is the result of the political will of Sarajevo and Muslim political structures. The goal is to eliminate the Serbian political factor from Bosnia and Herzegovina – said Dodik at a press conference.

Dodik specifically accused the European Union, claiming that the ruling was made under its influence. – This decision was created by the EU, led by the head of the Delegation in BiH Luigi Soreca and the Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos. When a vacuum was created between what the American ambassador Michael Murphy was doing, the European Union took over. They were looking for any kind of victory in today’s impossibility for the European Union to show any capability to be a player – stated Dodik.

Although he is prohibited from holding the position of President of RS, Dodik claims that he remains the president of SNSD and announces a possible political comeback after the ban expires. He stated that he will respect the decisions of the National Assembly of RS and requested support from Serbia and Russia, but also announced addressing the new American administration.

– No gun will fire. The greatest strength is the strength of gathering – he added, again calling the High Representative Christian Schmidt illegitimate, claiming that he is “the source of disorder in BiH”. (1.8.)
