Dodik likes idea of Croat entity Dodik told Zagreb-based Croatian daily Vecernji List that a separate Croat entity in Bosnia is a reality. According to him, Bosniaks (Muslims) must realize that the stability of Bosnia-Herzegovina depends on their stance regarding that entity. "If they wish to sustain Bosnia-Herzegovina, that (Croat) entity should be in their political program," said the RS leader. At the same time, he noted that the Serb entity's "territorial capacity" is untouchable, and that there is no RS politician that would accept any talks on the subject of territorial rearrangements of the Serb republic. Dodik also said that Croats in Bosnia were "devastated" by various intrigues brought on my some in the international community, and by Muslims. "Bosniaks have clearly gathered together in order to marginalize Croats. There can be no talks about any multi-ethnic community without the Croats' equal position held as a political people," said Dodik. The RS president also told the newspaper that the Bosniak desire to impose absolute domination over Croats and Serbs was "contentious". At the same time, he denied allegations that he and Bosnian Croat HDZ party leader Dragan Covic had forged a secret plan, and said these claims were coming from "sick media constructions, or from institutions that are more than anyone else destroying any hope that Bosnia-Herzegovina is possible". Dodik stressed that during a recent meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, she heard that his was not a policy of secession - "as they lie in Sarajevo" - but that he did believe it was best for Bosnia-Herzegovina to disintegrate peacefully.
