The Minister of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, Siniša Karan, stated that the special session of the National Assembly will be remembered as a kind of plebiscite. He described the process against the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, as the “final blow against Republika Srpska.”
“The President of Srpska, its people, and the Constitution are on trial, and we are being prosecuted through the Constitutional Court by some unfortunate Christian Schmidt, who brought a piece of paper he calls a law. If foreigners win in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina through the case against the President of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina will no longer live a constitutional life and will no longer be the Bosnia and Herzegovina for which the Serb people and their representatives signed in 1995. This is the same process that happened in 1991 when we were outvoted, leading to a plebiscite. That is why I said this session is a form of plebiscite—this is the culmination. The President of Srpska is fighting for the equality of Republika Srpska, the constitutionality of our people, and respect for our constitutional and legal capacity,” said Karan, emphasizing once again that this process aims to determine the fate of Srpska and the Serb people.
He stressed that unity is of crucial importance.
Criticizing the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Karan stated that it had taken over the project of “unitarizing Bosnia and Herzegovina” and had become a serious destabilizing factor.
He argued that the “modern occupier” is working toward the majorization of the Serb people in Bosnia and Herzegovina by insisting on non-violent changes to the political structure under the guise of democratization, with the ultimate goal of “creating a unitary state dominated by Muslims in Europe.”
“Their goal is Bosnia and Herzegovina without Serbs—a state without Serbs in the heart of Europe. Bosnia and Herzegovina can only survive by preserving the Dayton Agreement as it was signed. We must not lose sight of the fact that the President of Republika Srpska is being prosecuted for respecting the Dayton Agreement and the Constitution of Srpska,” said Karan.
He pointed out that attacks on Srpska are “wrapped in the veil of democracy, citing principles like one person, one vote, protection of human rights and freedoms, and other mechanisms.”
He emphasized that “what U.S. embassy sanctions have failed to achieve is now being pursued through the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
