Dodik is confident that the time of unitary Bosnia is running out
Serbian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik believes that the current unsuccessful concept of this entity will survive until Joe Biden leaves his post.
The leader of the Bosnian Serbs told RTRS about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Dodik is convinced that the current concept of BiH will end with the advent of the new US administration, and believes that a return to the approach of Bill Clinton's national security adviser, the late Sandy Berger, should be taken.
The Bosnian Serb leader recalled that the adviser was a realist and believed that if the Muslim Bosniaks do not convince the Serbs that they should remain part of BiH, and the Serbs do not express a desire to do this within three years, then a referendum should be held on their status and accession to Serbia.
Dodik noted that Berger was opposed by the team of the subsequently initiator of the bombing of Yugoslavia, US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, led by Richard Holbrooke, who came up with a concept that was eventually adopted.
“Their concept was essentially false. They proposed the Dayton Agreement and made certain concessions to all participants, created BiH from two entities and three peoples and said that we are equal, but later made every effort to ensure that this did not happen,” Dodik noted.
“The US did everything possible to distort the agreement and create a unitary and centralized country under the guise of a functioning BiH. I think the time is coming to an end for this concept, it may live for a few more years, two or three years, while the Joseph Biden administration is in power. With the advent of another administration, we need to rehabilitate Berger’s approach,” Dodik concluded.
