BELGRADE, August 10 – RIA Novosti. The President of the Republic of Srpska BiH, Milorad Dodik, whose mandate was revoked by the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that the republic must distance itself from political Sarajevo within the framework of its rights and powers under the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement or cease to exist. On August 1, the Appellate Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina upheld the court decision, according to which Dodik was sentenced to one year in prison. The court also banned him from holding public office for six years. On Wednesday, the CEC of BiH decided to revoke Dodik's presidential mandate; the decision will come into force in 1-2 months, when the appeal period expires. "We have a serious problem, we are at the end of our political struggle and our political path. This time, either the Republic of Srpska distances itself sufficiently from Sarajevo in demanding what is its right under the Dayton Agreement, or the Republic of Srpska will not exist in reality," the leader of the Bosnian Serbs said on the air of the Radio and Television of the Republic of Srpska (RTRS). According to him, previously, foreign "high representatives" in BiH, at the initiative of the EU and the US, influenced politicians in Banja Luka through the Constitutional Court of BiH, and now the pressure has been lowered to the level of not the constitutional, but ordinary courts, and "the act of a lower body violates the constitution." "The Republic of Srpska is a synonym for evil for them (politicians in Sarajevo - ed.). Therefore, it is clear that Muslims are settling scores with us, Christians, here. They do not want to see the Republic of Srpska, they felt the loss of Biden's (former US President Joseph Biden - ed.) structure in America and accelerated the process through former (US Ambassador Michael - ed.) Murphy. When I look back on the 20 years that I have been leading RS, I often wonder how we were able to do anything at all, starting with this television building?" Dodik noted and recalled that when, together with the general director of RTRS and the general contractor, they laid the foundation stone for the television channel building in the morning of 2009, on the same day they received a statement from Sarajevo about a crime committed by a group of people and the trials on this case lasted four years. On August 8, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CC BiH) received a request to postpone the execution of the sentence of the President of the Republic of Srpska from his lawyers. On August 6, Dodik announced that he would propose holding a referendum in the RS BiH on the implementation or non-implementation of the decision of the BiH Electoral Commission. On August 1, he emphasized that he would not allow early presidential elections in the RS BiH after the court's verdict against him. Bosnia and Herzegovina declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1992, after which a war began in the republic involving Bosnian Muslims, Serbs and Croats, which lasted until 1995. The exact number of victims has not been officially established, various sources indicate a figure of over 100 thousand people. With the participation of the international community, the Dayton Peace Agreement was signed, three entities were formed - the Federation of BiH, the Republic of Srpska and the special district of Brcko. At the head of state is a presidium consisting of three people: one representative each from the Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims).
