About 40 Belgrade taxi drivers today organized a protest ride and rally due to the announcement of the adoption of the resolution on Srebrenica in the United Nations General Assembly and sent their support to the leadership of Serbia. The rally was held in front of the Serbian Parliament and lasted about 30 minutes, it says N1.
Earlier today, Banja Luka taxi drivers organized a protest drive in which they want to express their opposition to the initiative to adopt the resolution on Srebrenica in the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN).
They started from Vidovdanska Street, from the former Old Bus Station.
A taxi in the service of the ruling party
There are seven taxi associations and one company in Banja Luka.
It is known that independent taxi drivers in Banja Luka have been working for the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) of Milorad Dodik for years, during the election campaigns, providing various services in the name and at the expense of this party - from free rides to having their vehicles "decorated" a few days before the elections. ” advertising material and SNSD flags. For their "loyalty" they were rewarded with various concessions from the authorities, he writes N1.
If the resolution is adopted - secession
The vote on the Resolution on the Genocide in Srebrenica in the UN General Assembly was postponed twice, and the adoption, which, according to observers, is more than certain, should be done by the end of May.
The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, in his speeches in recent days, threatened the secession of the Serbian entity from the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina if the resolution is passed.
Also, Dodik and his associates scheduled a session of the NSRS in Srebrenica on May 2, when the UN General Assembly was supposed to vote on the resolution.
Earlier, Dodik stated that he sees the Resolution as "an insidious move against a nation".
He also said that if the Resolution is adopted, "Republika Srpska no longer sees a reason to exist in BiH".
And further: "We will seek and regulate our status in such a way that we try to continue on our own. We will organize a large public meeting against everything that goes beyond the procedures, and if necessary, it is inevitable that we declare independence. I said and I say publicly that genocide did not happen. We believe that this is a direct destruction of the possibility to live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. That they falsely present themselves in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that they are directly directed against Srpska and the Serbian people as a whole".
As Dodik said earlier
However, in 2007, in an interview with Sarajevo journalist Senad Hadžifejzović for TV Face, Dodik said that that side of history cannot be closed while the perpetrators of war crimes are biologically alive. "I know perfectly well what happened - there was genocide in Srebrenica".
He also pointed out that the judgment of the Court in The Hague is an indisputable legal fact, and apologized to all those who suffered because of the Serbs or Republika Srpska.
