SDA and its leader Bakir Izetbegović are interfering in the internal affairs of another country, said SNSD President Milorad Dodik, adding that he is astonished by their obsession with his name and actions.
“This is a typical example of meddling in another country’s internal matters — but his words carry no weight. It’s as if he were commenting on Zanzibar or some other distant land,” Dodik told Srna.
He stated that SDA’s Main Board behaves as if it were some kind of central committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina whose every word must become reality, describing their approach as far outside any normal framework of political engagement.
“They believe that Serbs are a politically inferior people, that Serbs lack political intelligence — so they, from their Sarajevo stronghold, imagine they can offer some superior wisdom,” Dodik said.
He emphasized that SDA’s true problem is Republika Srpska and the Serb people, who refuse to submit to their failed concept of a civic BiH — a concept that, according to Dodik, has already collapsed even by the assessment of the UN Security Council, where even the U.S. representative recently stated that BiH must return to the principle of three constituent peoples.
“That is the collapse of the very policy they advocated,” Dodik said, adding that time will show others, too, that BiH is an impossible state and can never become a Muslim one.
He pointed out that BiH has been used as an experiment that has led to the current situation in the country.
Dodik also claimed that SDA is trying to orchestrate incidents through figures such as Sena Uzunović, “their own judge,” reminding that she was once their candidate for Assistant Minister of Finance and, during the war, part of what he called a chain of a criminal, fascist agenda led by Alija and later Bakir Izetbegović against Serbs.
“That is pathological hatred. They don’t even like those from SDS and PDP, but they find them useful — useful idiots who can help them achieve their goals,” Dodik said.
He added that SDA supports the SDS candidate Branko Blanuša and recalled Bakir Izetbegović’s recent statement that SDS and PDP should be given a chance.
Dodik stressed that everyone’s focus should be on what was said at the UN Security Council — that domestic political forces, if they wish, can agree on a functional BiH based on the original Dayton Agreement.
“I’m ready for that discussion,” he said, adding that if there is no willingness for such dialogue, it will simply prove that BiH is not viable.
Dodik stated that even for Muslims it would be better to establish their own community, as that would allow them to start addressing their own problems.
He assessed that SDA has never renounced its ambition to impose Sharia law, pointing out that the Islamic Declaration explicitly states that when Muslims gain a majority in a community, they should impose Sharia. “That’s exactly what they are trying to do in BiH,” Dodik said.
He added that they had significant support from earlier U.S. administrations, but that such support has now disappeared.
Dodik also noted that by undermining BiH’s common foreign policy, SDA believed they were discrediting him globally — but in fact, they unintentionally helped internationalize the entire issue.
“We recognized that message and began building our own foreign relations — and they are not insignificant,” Dodik emphasized.
He concluded that Muslim nationalism and political Islam are the only real disruptive factors preventing a functional BiH.
“That’s why Republika Srpska bothers them, and that’s why they are trying to neutralize it,” Dodik concluded.
