Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska (RS), has alleged that the United Kingdom is behind the verdict of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina against him and is also involved in actions targeting Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.
Speaking on the morning program of Radio-Television of RS (RTRS), Dodik claimed that the UK aims to remove him from the political scene to facilitate the transfer of migrants from Britain to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“You saw who reacted first after the final verdict — the British Ambassador to BiH, Julian Reilly,” Dodik stated, adding that UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy had also discussed deporting migrants to BiH during a recent visit to Sarajevo.
Dodik argued that authorities could not prosecute him for criminal acts, so they sought a verdict because he “does not recognize the High Representative in BiH, Christian Schmidt.” He accused Schmidt of being a “fascist” and claimed “servile Muslims” were enlisted to prosecute him, comparing the situation to WWII atrocities against his family.
The RS leader further alleged that Britain is behind efforts to destabilize Serbia.
“When you have a strong and united Serbia led by Vučić, you see destabilization efforts. Now they’ve planted the seed of division in Serbia to weaken it — something only these ‘filthy Brits’ could devise,” Dodik said.
During the broadcast, Dodik also threatened Schmidt, saying:
“Let him come to RS and see how it will go for him.”
He attacked opposition parties in RS, labeling them as “traitorous” and “servile” to political Sarajevo. Dodik criticized BiH Chief Prosecutor Milanko Kajganić, calling him a “weak man” who allowed actions against him, allegedly orchestrated by Muslims and former U.S. Ambassador Michael Murphy.
Dodik also targeted Judge Sena Uzunović, who issued the first-instance ruling in his case, describing her as a “wartime judge for Muslims in Konjic” and accusing her of bias against Serbs.
He claimed that RS is better known internationally than BiH and that the situation in RS and BiH is being discussed in major world capitals — from Moscow and Beijing to Washington. Dodik added that RS is actively working to engage with the incoming U.S. administration, asserting that RS will never again have such an opportunity to be mentioned, even peripherally, at a high-level forum like the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Dodik accused the European Union of “blatantly lying” about the situation in BiH, defending Schmidt’s actions, and becoming a “serious problem” in global politics. He criticized the EU’s stance on Ukraine and the militarization of Germany, claiming the EU “no longer exists in a value-based sense.”
