President Dodik said in a television interview that U.S. sanctions against him “mean nothing to him” and emphasized his respect for the letter of the Dayton Accords. He also talked about the pressure exerted against him by the United States. “The U.S. ambassador asked for the church in Potocari to be torn down, I said I would not, the next day a statement was issued about me being uncooperative. I haven’t been tearing down mosques, I won’t be tearing down churches,” President Dodik said.
