Dodik urges Izetbegovic to apologize to Serbs for his controversial statement – N1

BiH Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik urged the leader of BiHs main Bosniak, Bakir Izetbegovic, to apologize to the Serb people for his controversial statement Thursday, which Dodik said “humiliated not only Serbs but all the peoples that live in the Balkans.”

. . . Izetbegovic said that he believes Dodik wants to be remembered as a politician who kept the idea of secession open for some possible future times when such a thing would be possible.

“He knows he can’t do it. And when they say ‘there are no bad people, there are only bad leaders’ – I’m not so sure about that. He is appealing to a large number of people who support a raw Balkan policy,” Izetbegovic stated.

Dodik said that his party wants stability and peace and that he “firmly stands behind the words of the Dayton Peace Agreement.”

“Izetbegovic will not receive any insults from us, especially not regarding the Bosniak people, we will not qualify any of the Bosniaks that way,” Dodik said.
