SARAJEVO, February 16 (FENA) - Messages that Mr. Milorad Dodik sent on Saturday from Belgrade and which very clearly and unashamedly state that the ultimate goal of such a policy is to break up the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and create a Greater Serbia, have unfortunately not come across any condemnation of the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, but of tacit approval, said the BiH Presidency Chairman Željko Komšić, who is on a working visit to the Vatican, referencing a meeting in Belgrade between Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina's entity of RS.
"The phrases that Mr. Vučić utters on these occasions, like phrases about respect for territorial integrity, have long been meaningless to us, while Dodik puts pressure on him and announces new conflicts in this region because the path he mentions and which he wants to embark on is the path of conflict.
It would be good if Mr. Vučić, who often says that it is important to preserve peace, would finally say who is threatening that peace. Is Dodik a threat to him with this kind of politics or is Vučić just restraining himself from running into conflict?
It is clear to me who is not threatening with conflict. The Bosnian side is not the one that threatens, which, after all, even after suffering through the aggression and genocide, extended its open arms of reconciliation, but it seems it was all in vain because we are extending it to the same powers in Serbia that wanted to cut nut just those hands but our heads as well of all of us who love this country and don't want or ask for anything more than for Serbia to finally stop tearing into it," Komšić said.
As for Dodik, said the BiH Presidency Chairman, after reporting to Vučić and bringing himself to the level of Andrija Mandić from Montenegro, he again managed to make two contradictory claims in the same sentence, that he wanted peace and disintegration of the country. He must choose one of the two, although we know what he really wants, warned Komšić.
It is clear, says Komšić, that the fear of his own actions has done damage, and now he is trying to hide his fear of statements he gave and which no one has driven him to give in the first place and which no one was particularly impressed with, except perhaps Vučić.
"As we have told him before, he neither has the power nor the strength to make a reality of any of his threats. However, we will remember that his wishes in Belgrade were welcomed with much understanding," stated the BiH Presidency Chairman Željko Komšić on the occasion of yesterday's meeting in Belgrade.
