B&H Presidency Member and SNSD leader Milorad Dodik held an extraordinary press conference in Banja Luka after the High Representative in B&H passed a law on genocide denial.
- RS rejects this. There was no genocide in Srebrenica, international factors say that. Attempts are being made to impose genocide on the Serbian people. B&H cannot function after this. We will convene a session of the Assembly next week and make the decision we need to make.
He pointed out that Inzko's decision will be followed by a new political crisis in B&H.
- There is no dialogue in B&H, in B&H it should be imposed by force that Serbs should lose their autonomy, their state ... As a man who leads the Serbian people, we must not allow that. The genocide did not happen. He has no consensus on this decision by the Security Council. His resignation was accepted and he cannot make such decisions - said Dodik.
The law on genocide denial is, as he said, "a chance for Serbs in B&H".
- This is the key moment that we will survive as a nation or we will disappear from this area in a short time. The people who committed genocide are now telling us a story. Our efforts are towards defending ourselves. I will repeat once again that there was no genocide in B&H. This will encourage more evil in B&H. This decision does not allow to go further. He makes the decision and promulgates the law. This cannot be seen anywhere in the world. Let him be ashamed - said Dodik.
He reiterated earlier views that RS recognizes the great crime in Srebrenica.
- People who died in 1990 are buried there. Inzko is not welcome among Serbs and he knows that well - he said.
Finally, he called on the RS opposition to unite and reject the High Representative's decisions.
