Kočić's Choir, a traditional cultural event dedicated to the writer Petar Kočić, started today in Republika Srpska on Manjača, under the auspices of this state.
President Milorad Dodik, who spoke at the opening, also used this public appearance to accuse the USA, Germany and Great Britain of leading a policy directed against the Serbs.
He said that from now on they will all be called Rudonja, (the bull from Kočić's short story "Jablan", with which Luja's bull Jablan fights, symbolizes the struggle between a weak peasant and the government).
"Foreigners are Rudonje, we show them the middle finger," said Dodik.
"Even though we think we fought for freedom, we still have Rudonje here today, just like in Kočić's time. We have the main Rudonja from the same people as the one from Kočić's story. "That Rudonja wants to steal the land from the Serbs, and we show him the middle finger out of spite," said Dodik.
He added that he will soon go to "some Sudanese", like Kočić's heroes once, alluding to the indictment brought against him by the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina for not implementing the decisions of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He repeated that BiH "is not our country, but our current obligation".
"Without Republika Srpska, there is no freedom. "Without the Republika Srpska, there are no Serbs in Manjaca, without the Republika Srpska there is no Kočić choir either," concluded Dodik.
"Sons of Manjaca" sang songs in praise of President Dodik, and he sang songs of Baja Mali Knindza.
