Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik told press on Wednesday that he expected 80% voter turnout if the planned referendum concerning the High Representative’s decisions goes forward. Out of those voters, President Dodik expects 75% to vote against OHR.
Dodik said that a survey was conducted to assess the validity of the decision to hold the referendum to see how the citizens would react to the issue and added that an enormous number of people would vote against the imposed decisions.
“Once the referendum is conducted, you have an absolute will of the people that must be respected. If the will of the people is observed, then you know what has to be done – no more Court and Prosecutor’s Office,” Dodik told the Euroblic daily.
According to Mr. Dodik, in the case of such a result, the RS National Assembly would then “make decisions according to the referendum results.”
