“Republika Srpska has the right to unite with Serbia,” said the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik.
He tried to exploit a statement by US President-elect Donald Trump on Greenland. In an interview with RT Balkan, a Russian propaganda channel operating unhindered in Serbia, he propagated his nationalist ideology for the secession of RS from Bosnia and Herzegovina and its unification with Serbia, breaking the Dayton Agreement that brought peace to the country. He said that the existing borders were not “sacred cows”.
“If the Americans say there is no division between Slovenes and Croats, but a real fact on the ground, wasn’t RS a real fact on the ground? Why did you turn us into this nonsense called Bosnia and Herzegovina? If Greenland and Canada “If East and West Germany are able to do this, how can RS not be annexed to Serbia now?” said Dodik, adding that Russia also had a right to Ukraine.
He justified the Russian aggression against Ukraine by saying that if Putin had not attacked Ukraine, Russia would have been divided into several smaller states that would have taken control of multinational companies. Dodik, who has been sanctioned in the US and UK for corruption, is not only spreading the polarizing narrative but also taking such measures. This month, he celebrated the unconstitutional Republika Srpska Day, which is considered an insult to all Bosniaks in Republika Srpska due to the war crimes and genocide in Srebrenica.
