Bosnian Serb leader threatens to declare independence
BELGRADE, Serbia (AA) – Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik has said that the Republika Srpska (RS) would declare independence from Bosnia and Herzegovina if its territorial integrity was threatened.
“If you try to take our properties from us, we will separate the RS. If this is a take it or leave it situation, we will take it to keep it,” said President of Republika Srpska Dodik.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Constitutional Court in early March repealed a controversial immovable property law in the Republika Srpska (RS) entity.
According to Dodik, the court decision is against the entity and it will not be successful.
He added that they are drafting a new law.
“This time, I plan to include all properties within the entity. If a property list is requested from us, you will disband Bosnia and Herzegovina,” said Dodik.
The court’s decision came after the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced that he had suspended the law a day before it was expected to come into force.
