Dodik and Friends of Republika Srpska in America: Is the Dayton Constitution Really Protected?
Milorad Dodik, president of Republika Srpska, proudly claims that RS has real friends in the USA! Yes, you read that right – friends who will help defend the Dayton Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among them is Rod Blagojevich, former governor of Illinois and congressman, who recently visited RS to “learn more about our history and tradition.” Dodik even received Blagojevich at the RS Palace, and the latter later visited Gacko and publicly showed his affection for RS on social media.
But let’s be real – how genuine are these American “friendships”? Is it just political theater or real support? Dodik claims that the US administration under Donald Trump supports RS, but the world changes, and so does American policy. Will the new administration continue this “friendly” policy or will RS be left alone in its fight for status?
Vučić and the War on Violence: No Pardons for Rioters!
On the other hand, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is not backing down when it comes to violence on the streets. After protests and clashes with police, Vučić clearly stated he will not sign pardons for those involved in violence. They were warned – five hundred times! – not to participate in clashes, but they ignored the warnings.
Vučić emphasized that the police acted professionally and prevented worse consequences, but more arrests are coming. He accused “older rebels” who incited the youth to violence, often for personal gain. Vučić made it clear there is no force stronger than the state and justice will be served.
Chaos on the Streets and Political Games
While Dodik builds alliances across the ocean, Vučić fights chaos on the streets of Belgrade. Protests, blockades, clashes – it all seems like part of a bigger game. Analysts warn about extremists preparing serious chaos, while authorities try to maintain stability.
Vidovdan, a day symbolizing Serbian history and unity, this year was marked by tensions and conflicts. Is this a sign that old problems are returning or just another episode in a long series of political upheavals?
Conclusion: Friends, Foes, and the Fight for the Future
Dodik and Vučić, each in their own way, fight for their goals – one seeks support in America, the other cleans the streets of rioters. But what does this mean for ordinary people? Will RS really have friends to help it or will it remain trapped in political games? Will Serbia manage to deal with violence and maintain stability?
Time will tell. And you? Do you believe in these “friends” and Vučić’s fight against violence or is it all just a show for the public? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for what and who’s for whom!
