Dodik believes RS is Serbia's "top priority"

If only Dodik were president of all Serbs.. all these issues would be put to rest. He is absolutely correct in all his statements.

"should be a priority for Serbia, in the national sense".

I think this is a typo. What he means to say is:
"should be a property of Serbia..."

Blah blah blah. RS is an entity of BiH, and Kosovo is essentially independent. Period.

What is interesting is that Dodik seems to concede Kosovo's independence in his remarks. He refuses to recognize that independence, of course, but so what?

The RS did not use Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence to declare its own independence, Dodik pointed out.

"We had an opportunity back then to say if they can do it, so can we in the RS. We want it. And yet we did not do it. Do you know why? What a buffoon and a liar. Dodo you tried to declare "independence" and Croatia's president said Croatian armed forces would be in Banja Luka in fortnight too put a end too the wicked Greater Serbia. Even your backer Serbia backed away from your stupidity only the cold winds were and are blowing through your foolish empty head.

with all due respect to Mr Dodik I dont remember any of your Bosnian Serbs calling your selfs Serbs before the war. It was always Yugoslavian or orthodox from Bosnia... When I was a kid living in Serbia I remember all the refuges from that part of Yugoslavia coming to Serbia and stating "We are Bosnian" and saying how they expected a lot more of Serbia then what they got... I dont agree with him one bit on that issue. As far as everyone having a Serbian citizenship well apply for it and see if you guys get it. Follow the Law...

"The RS did not use Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence to declare its own independence, Dodik pointed out. We had an opportunity back then to say if they can do it, so can we in the RS. "

The big big big difference is that the Declaration of Independence of Kosovo is in accordance with international law as the ICJ confirmed, while that of RS would be against international law a.k.a. Dayton agreements. Nobody would recognize RS and they know it. If they thought they had the slightest chance they would go for it. Basically, he is trying to take credit for something trivial.

there are no "pragmatic" solutions, KiM has to be liberated, one way or another.

no presents for the Albanians.
end of discussion.

Didok Dodik Dikod Dodik- anyone can play with letters and numbers- 8000 soldiers killed in Srebrenica, 2000 soldiers killed in Srebrenica, no civilians killed in Srebrenica- such transparently childish attempts to mask the enormity of what (he farms out to) some individuals did. The some being their generals and their political masters who were willing to not only sacrifice their own honour but that of the people they allegedly represented. RS is a historical stain upon the Serb conscience. The days of 'ignore it and will go away' are gone -we all can read the facts-the witness accounts- the trial transcripts-we all can engage in such discourses as this - 'it' won't go away. RS is yet to come to terms with their past and their responsibility to initiate real political dialogue about policies not polemics with their fellow countrymen, to reconcile and show at least some remorse, not continue to bang the drum of 'the end will justify the means.' There is a terrible historical irony afoot with Dodik's secessionist's dreams.

We all know the DS and the LDP are Natural Allies, and Dodik the Fifth Columnist knows this, and would have loved it if the DS and the LDP had a majority, with Tadic as President.

We know that Tadic apologized for Srebrenica and he used the disputed figure of 8,000 Muslim Soldiers; whereas, Unbiased Research shows that there was only approximately 2,000 Muslim Soldiers who died in that battle during the Bosnia and Herzegovina Civil War.

Boris Tadic attended a ceremony marking the 15th anniversary of what the Western Media described as the Srebrenica genocide, and Tadic accepted the Western manufactured Lies, just like the Leader of the LDP Cedomir Jovanovic has, and Milorad Dodik knows all these things, but he covers up for Tadic.

Dodik and Tadic lured the Leader of the SPS Ivica Dacic to Banja Luka, to visit Milorad Dodik and have a Private Conversation with Dodik so that Dodik could act as Tadic’s spy to know what the SPS is thinking.

It is obvious that the DS and Dodik Team are really just the same as the LDP, and their main concern is a SNS, SPS, and DSS Government.

Milorad Dodik is not a Serb, because he is a Fifth Columnist who is speaking against the Serbian Constitution and against the wishes of the Majority of the Serbian Voters who rejected the Foreign Puppet Tadic, and Voted for President Tomislav Nikolic.

The Leadership of Republic of Srpska is acting like Albania, and even Bosnia and Herzegovina uphold Serbia’s claim to Kosovo.

Peggy there are many Roman Catholic churches around the world in many countries. There are may Russian Orthodox churches in many countries. It is a religion not a cultural definition- it is part of such but not the absolute determinant. Whilst your family may have identified yourself with Serb samo Serb in Bosnia for whatever reason, many have also traditionally seen themselves as religiously Serbian Orthodox but also Bosnians- to devalue another's experience such as Mike's is merely proselytising and parochial. The only enemy you have in Bosnia is your own paranoia.

@Mike Canada, how wrong you are. We Serbs from Bosnia have ALWAYS called ourselves Serbs. Not Serbians from Serbia but SERBS (ne Srbijanci nego Srbi). Do you know what you are talking about?
We and our forefathers in diaspora have built SERBIAN churches (Srpske crkve) not Bosnian Orthodox churches. Have a think about what all that means.
One last question to you Mike. Which church do you attend in Canada, Serbian or some other and who attends the church with you, only Serbs or Bosnians too?
Our enemies have tried to exterminate us from Bosnia and Croatia because we are Serbs not merely Orthodox. What churches exist in Bosnia and Croatia? Croatian Orthodox, Bosnian Orthodox or Serb Orthodox?

Maybe if you engaged your brain before you spoke.

The only enemy you have in Bosnia is your own paranoia.

==================================
How dare you call me paranoid. Who do you think you are? I can think of many things to call you but I won't. I will argue my point without being rude and frankly stupid.
I have never met a Serbs from Bosnia who calls himself Bosnian. Yes, they will say they are Bosnian in order to tell us which republic they come from but they will never say they are Bosnian by ethnicicty. You are just making things up now.
I have also met many Serbs from Croatia who don't say they are Croatian but Serbs from Croatia like Slavonia etc.
By the same token I have never met any Croats from Bosnia or anywhere who identify themselves anything but Croatian.
Iko I don't know who you are but you certainly don't know what you are talking about. The ONLY reason I have heard Serbs say they are Bosnian is when they are telling someone from Yugoslavia where they come from not what their ethnicity is.

Don't presume you can tell me who I am and if you don't like what I say then say I am paranoid. Just goes to show you have no argument at all when you have to stoop so low as to psychoanalyze me.
Do you even know the difference between a Serb and a Srbijanac?

Peggy you seem to live in a special place where you can talk for all Serbs - WE Serbs- and from your presumably broad contacts with Croats from Bosnia know about -ALL Croats -and then take offence at an observation of paranoia when you say " Our enemies have tried to exterminate us because ...we are Serbs" and then with the final affected cry of don't be rude to 'moi' after you slag Mike from Canada for 'not engaging his brain'
someone sees things a different to you doesn't make them, silly stupid, rude and disengaged. Methinks she does protest too much.
