Republic of Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik has said that a solution to the crisis in Bosnia-Herzegovina was return to Dayton Accords original principles. He explained that these principles were the best foundation for the existence of the state. “Original Dayton principles solution to Bosnian crisis” “If there had not been for Dayton there would not have been Bosnia-Herzegovina either, it could have fallen apart and as long as there is Dayton Bosnia-Herzegovina has a basis it can live on and after that it will probably be impossible to save its integrity,” Dodik stressed. He noted that “many have tried in the past 16 years to revise the importance of Dayton but it still proved to be the most important international document in the recent political history”. The RS president stressed that the additional interpretations of the Dayton “made Bosnia-Herzegovina dysfunctional and unsustainable” and that a solution was “to return to the original Dayton, the original principles, which is exactly what our policy comes down to”. Dodik pointed out that Bosnia-Herzegovina had never been internationally recognized until 1992 and that it had only been a part of larger states. He added that a part of the international community had recognized Bosnia-Herzegovina that year, that it had become a UN member without an internal consensus about whether the country could survive as a community. “Only after the Dayton Accords Bosnia-Herzegovina got its full international capacity but solely as a complex confederate-federal country with two entities that have more state authority than Bosnia-Herzegovina itself,” the RS president underscored. He added that the international community had tried to diminish RS’s authority and strengthen Bosnia-Herzegovina at the time but that it had turned out to be wrong because this was exactly the reason why Bosnia-Herzegovina was in a bad position now “without the budget, Council of Ministers and many other necessary things”.
