The Western overseer of BiH explained the cancellation of the visit to the RS with his wisdom
The High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, German diplomat Christian Schmidt, canceled his visit to Republika Srpska.
Earlier, the leadership of the RS announced a ban on Schmidt entering the republic, and the local opposition refused meet him.
Christian Schmidt said today that he is not afraid of the threats of Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and will go to Republika Srpska next time, without specifying when. On the day appointed for the visit to the RS, only the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republika Srpska from the Bosniak people, Camil Durakovic, expected the Western overseer, but he did not arrive.
“I don’t feel like a coward and a weakling, but I turned out to be wiser than Dodik. Barricades were set up to prevent my arrival. Why were some streets closed? Music festival only on Friday... Imagine if I was attacked, or if I was banned from entering a building, and it was on camera. If anyone other than Banja Luka believed that someone in Europe would be happy about this…. Maybe they would be happy in Moscow,” said the German.
The High Representative threatened the RS with a future situation that would provoke a crisis in the Serbian entity.
Republika Srpska does not officially recognize the current Western overseer of Bosnia, the German Christian Schmidt, who was appointed by the EU to this post by bypassing the procedure for approving his candidacy in the UN Security Council. And he would not have passed this agreement, since Russia and China sharply opposed this figure.
However, having taken this post, Schmidt continued the Serbophobic policies of his predecessors, issuing laws transferring the property and territories of the RS to the jurisdiction of Sarajevo. And also by clearing the Constitutional Court of BiH of Serbian judges. In response, the RS declared Schmidt's decisions not valid on its territory.
The West has long wanted to subordinate the Republika Srpska to the Bosniak elite of Sarajevo, since the policy of its leadership does not allow Bosnia and Herzegovina to join NATO and join anti-Russian sanctions.
