The President of the Serbian entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milorad Dodik, has called on US President Donald Trump and US Vice President JD Vance to prevent any form of NATO intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He has asked them to help him cancel any decision, which according to Dodik is illegitimate and undemocratic, taken by the Joe Biden administration.
"We do not want war, we want peace. We aim to fight for human rights through democratic means. Our goal is to restore the original interpretation of the Dayton Agreement. Help us cancel the illegitimate and undemocratic decisions of the Joseph Biden administration," Dodik said in an interview with The American Conservative magazine.
He stressed that the statements of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said that Dodik is undermining the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, were "one-sided and expressed sympathy for the Muslim side."
"I do not criticize him, but I invite him to dialogue. I want him to listen to all three perspectives, not just the perspective of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are trying to subjugate the Christian majority in the country," he added.
The Parliamentary Assembly of Republika Srpska approved a draft of a new constitution late Thursday, which aims to define the Serbian entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state.
With the new Constitution, among other things, the leaders of Republika Srpska aim to define this entity as a state of the Serbian people, grant it the right to self-determination, create its own army, and abolish the Council of Peoples and the vice-presidents from the other two constituent peoples.
This is another move by the leaders of this entity to separate Republika Srpska from Bosnia, after last week the Assembly adopted laws prohibiting the work of Bosnia's state justice institutions on the territory of this entity.
