Russia and China should be asked now to name their own special envoys in the Balkans, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik said commenting on the appointment of Richard Grenell as Washington's special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina talks, Serbian media carried on Sunday.
The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik announced in Belgrade today that one of the possible solutions of the Kosovo issue is for the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo to remain in Serbia with Republika Srpska also joining the Republic of Serbia. ''If that is the solution, I will not oppose it,'' he told Belgrade's TV Prva, which was then picked up by Belgrade media.
Chairman of Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Milorad Dodik said today’s operation of the Kosovo police special units in the north is a serious blow to the fragile peace in Kosovo and Metohija and an attempt to provoke a new exodus of the Serbs, Danas daily reports.
He told SRNA news agency Serbia has the right to protect its people that remained unprotected even by the international forces that should guarantee the peace to them and Albanians in Kosovo.
A group of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) Bishops have distanced themselves from the SOC statement following the Holy Synod session and a meeting with the President Aleksandar Vucic, Belgrade-based Danas daily writes on Monday.
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic said late on Monday he informed the Holy Synod of the Serb Orthodox Church about "all my worries," adding Patriarch Irinej, who said Vucic's fight for Kosovo was heroic, understood him well, N1 reported.
Vucic was present at the Holy Synod annual meeting in the Patriarchy in Belgrade.
Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik has told Kosovo President Hashim Thaci in Tirana to stop mentioning the Serb Republic (RS). The RS is the Serb entity in BiH.
Bosnian Serb leader and tripartite Presidency Chairman, Milorad Dodik, redrew the borders between Bosnia and Serbia, saying that some kind of integration between Serbia, Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity and what he said is a Serb-dominated part of Montenegro must happen in the future.
“I know it won’t happen right now, but I'm sure it will happen in this century. One doesn’t have to be a genius to know that conditions will be met for this. This is our political wish,” Dodik told the Serbian Espreso.rs portal.
Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik says the possibility of a declaration of independence of the RS at a future time is not ruled out. The Serb Republic (RS) is the Serb entity in BiH, the other being the Muslim-Croat Federation (FBiH).
"I cannot rule out any movements in the future, and even a proclamation of independence of the RS. Whatever context somebody may put it in, I think it's quite rational," Dodik said in an interview for the Public Service of BiH (BHT).
If anyone has meddled in the Balkans and spread malign influence, then it's Western countries and their intelligence services, and not Russia. This has been stated by the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Milorad Dodik.
If self-declared Kosovo joins the United Nations, Republic of Srpska (RS) would refer to that right, Chairman of the Bosnian Presidency Milorad Dodik said, Tanjug news agency reports.
Dodik consider that Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina would also not miss a chance to secede from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“I think, if the constellation is made as such, Croats either will not miss a chance to secede from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Then the question would arise who would stay there?” Dodik told RTS.
