For the first time, the leading countries of the West began to seriously develop a scenario about Republika Srpska without Milorad Dodik, which is a clear sign of support for High Representative Christian Schmidt to remove Dodik from the position of President of the RS and to ban him from political activity, regional N1 television announced.
"Schmit has the full support of the West to increase the pressure on Dodik so that it is clear to him that he will be removed from political life, and the only way to prevent this from happening is for the President of the Republika Srpska and the leader of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) to urgently stop anti-state activities." , N1 states, citing unnamed well-informed sources from international circles.
Diplomatic sources close to the Western powers told N1 that the United States of America, Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy are losing patience, and are now united for the first time in their view that Dodik has crossed a red line and that his anti-constitutional moves cannot go unpunished. , because with his unreasonable and dangerous actions, he threatens the peace and day-to-day structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The representatives of Quinta are of the opinion that it is necessary to move to a phase of more direct action with the aim of preserving the territorial integrity and the Constitution of BiH, and the official Brussels is still hesitant and does not have a clear position because it is of the opinion that every new decision of the high representative moves Bosnia and Herzegovina away from membership in the European Union .
It is added that it is not clear what is Turkey's attitude towards the dismissal of Dodik.
On the other hand, Russia stopped participating in the work of the Council for the Rim of Peace, does not recognize Kristian Šmit as a high representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but supports all the decisions made by the National Assembly of the RS, including the last one on the non-application of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the territory of Republika Srpska.
On Saturday, the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Kristijan Šmit imposed new decisions by which he annulled the laws on non-publication of decisions of the Constitutional Court on the territory of the RS and non-publication of its decisions in the Official Gazette of the RS.
He also changed the provisions of the Criminal Code, according to which non-implementation of his decisions is a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment from six months to five years, as well as the possibility of dismissal from office.
