Western ambassadors refused to participate in Serbian Statehood Day celebrations
EU ambassadors did not take part in the traditional ceremony in honor of Serbian Statehood Day in Orašac.
The non-arrival of European ambassadors is due to the participation in the ceremony of the Serbian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milorad Dodik.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, on the eve of the celebration of Serbian Statehood Day in Orašac, the place where the First Serbian Uprising against the Turks began in 1804, EU ambassadors said that they would not come there, as they did every year, if the Serbian member of the BiH Presidency, Milorad Dodik, was there .
“Should we change something and exclude the Republika Srpska leadership just because the ambassadors asked for it? – Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic commented on the demarche of the Western ambassadors. “It doesn’t even occur to me to think about this.” Serbia is a country of proud, worthy people, Serbia is a serious country.”
In turn, the Chairman of the People's Assembly, Ivica Dacic, said that Western ambassadors may not come to Orašac, since Dodik interferes with them so much.
“Serbs in Republika Srpska celebrate February 15 as their holiday. We look at Serbia as our country and homeland, and Serbs, no matter where they live, perceive it that way. Serbs today have two states - the Republic of Srpska and Serbia, which is the guarantor of peace and security for every Serb, wherever he was not...
Today, under the leadership of Aleksandar Vučić, Serbia shows the best results in helping the MS and is a guarantor of peace…. I simply see no reason why I and the leadership of the Republika Srpska should not be here, and I am grateful to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic for the decision this year award one of the most important state awards to the President of the Republika Srpska Zeljka Cvijanovic,” said Milorad Dodik himself, speaking at the ceremony.
