RS Premier Milorad Dodik has stated that the RS will never abandon defending Serbia's position on Kosovo and that it will support Serbia even when it makes mistakes, but he believes that the appearance before the UN General Assembly will not have a better outcome than that before the ICJ.
"Unfortunately, the appearance before the U.N. General Assembly will not have a better outcome. I believe that it will be an even bigger defeat, and after that you can do nothing," said Dodik, who believes that "no one will feel sorry for the Serbs," because this is "a story about power and power creates law.
For Vecernje Novosti, Dodik said that nothing can be the same after the opinion of the ICJ. "Serbia received yet another important message from the world.
With this decision, the Court had confirmed the continuity of the bad treatment of Serbia, regardless of who is at its helm.
It is now clear to everyone: the stereotype of bad guys and a bad state will not be changed in the West. You may change whatever you want and change democratic governments, they will not accept you," said Dodik.
"Serbia will have to come to its senses. Kosovo is less and less part of Serbia. I understand that it is very difficult to give up Kosovo and I believe that no politician can do it. But, this is becoming less of a relation between Kosovo and Serbia but more of a relation between the international community and Serbia," said Dodik.
"Why not come forward with conditions - if you want us to recognize independence of one part of Kosovo we want the north of the province to remain in Serbia, to grant a special status to the Serbian people who remain outside the territory, to protect the monuments and monasteries.," said Dodik.
Speaking about Bosnia-Herzegovina and the status of the RS, Dodik said that "we want at present to clearly establish our rights so as to be able to act in any future situation the way the Albanians act now."
Dodik is confident that Bosnia-Herzegovina has no future, but that the calling of a referendum on independence of the RS would be a pure adventure at the moment.
