Dodik is a liar

Delvin Kovač, Vijesti.ba journalist, asked questions. I replied:

A: Mr. Milorad Dodik accused you yesterday at the press conference by saying this: “Some guy named Serwer, or whatever his name is, has risen over there in Germany. A man who received big money from Muslims to satanize Serbs. He is a part of the US policymakers”. What is your answer to these Dodik’s accusations?

A: He is a liar: I don’t get any money from Muslims, I don’t satanize Serbs, and I am not part of US policymaking. [I’m also not in or from Germany, but I forgot to say that.]

Q: This is not the first time you get such accusations from him. In an interview to TANJUG last year (13. August 2019.), commenting on your statement given for Vijesti.ba (8. July 2019.), in which you said: “Bosnia can’t continue towards NATO if Dodik is unalterably opposed. It would be unwise to pretend differently. My sense is that he is not unalterably opposed but wants to show deference to his Moscow paymasters.” Dodik said: “He is an ordinary as*hole who gets money from the Muslims”. Why does he keep accusing you, even though you are not the only one Dodik is accusing.

A: Ask him. I think he is frightened of those he can’t control. 

Q: Do you maybe have some special message for Mr. Dodik? What would it be?

A: Get out of the way and allow the Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina to be well governed.

Q: What do you think is a solution to a current political deadlock in Bosnia and Herzegovina, since all state institutions are ineffective over the blockade by the Bosnian Serbs?

A: The constitution makes it possible for someone like Dodik to block the government. Either get rid of him or change the constitution. 

Here is the interview in what I presume is Bosnian.
