The participation of Republika Srpska as an equal state among other countries at the International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow is extremely important news. All the talk about the isolation of Republika Srpska and its president Milorad Dodik has collapsed, stated Slobodan Župljanin, Dean of the Faculty of Security and Protection in Banja Luka, as a guest on the Morning Program of RTRS television.
Župljanin emphasized that the issue of international security is one of the most important today, due to the shifting of power distributions.
– The collective West is no longer united; there is a serious rift within it. One collective West is embodied in the administration of Donald Trump, and another in the war-mongering European Union, which has become the main source of problems. Those who have held power until now will not easily give it up. What matters is that Republika Srpska was present and visible, and that its president Milorad Dodik had the opportunity to speak publicly and was especially honored as the first to address the audience. This is a diplomatic revolution coming from Republika Srpska – said Župljanin.
He stressed that the message sent by senior U.S. officials—that they will no longer create states and nations for others—must be taken seriously and analyzed in the Federation of BiH.
– Serbs are a people, a nation, and a state. Others should ask themselves whether it is realistic to expect the U.S. to deliver what they wish for. That is why it is important that the positions of Republika Srpska and the real situation in BiH were voiced at this conference. Even more important is that Republika Srpska had the status of a state at the event. Russia remains consistent and supports everything Republika Srpska is doing within BiH. The revived segment of the EU will have to lose – Župljanin noted.
Župljanin also pointed out that Christian Schmidt is completely delegitimized and that discussing him is pointless.
– Political Sarajevo will continue to rely on him for a while longer and will not admit that they understood the messages. The only, most persistent and sincere protector of the Dayton Peace Agreement is Milorad Dodik and Republika Srpska. Sarajevo will have to face the bitter truth. There will be no war here – concluded Župljanin.
