DSS: Pressure on Serbia will continue

Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) deputy leader Aleksandar Popovic said Saturday that pressure on Serbia would continue even after Ratko Mladic’s arrest. He added that it would focus mostly on Kosovo and Republic of Srpska (RS). DSS: Pressure on Serbia will continue “The pressure will continue because the key problem lies in the necessity to finish some work here, and I mean Kosovo and Republic of Srpska," he told a new conference after a visit to the local DSS office in Kikinda. “The DSS experience with the Hague Tribunal from the time when the party was leading the government has convinced us that the tribunal is simply a tool to pressure Serbia and that the pressure will continue in order to accomplish certain goals," Popovic stated. He believes the goals are to establish a new country on Serbia's territory, centralize Bosnia-Herzegovina by gradually erasing the high level of autonomy the RS enjoys, which was granted by the Dayton peace agreement, and recently to eliminate the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) in Montenegro.
