If Srpska had Serbia against it, it would be in an extremely difficult situation. That is why it is probably clear why I support Vu\u010di\u0107,&#8221; Dodik said in an interview for Banja Luka&#8217;s Glas Srpske.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is true, he stated, that all parties from Republika Srpska support the SNS, but he did not see any of the Srpska opposition at events like the last one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am not sure if their support is sincere. I went there even though I was not directly invited. I went to support Serbia because I believe that Serbia can be strong and powerful only if Vu\u010di\u0107 governs it,&#8221; Dodik is clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02bHiWRQmT3EADVcez5UGua2obxKecFJ85RzeabMMPgcuEuFhqafBn6AGcS8rYk4Mhl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Srpska and Serbs are restoring their dignity through public debates on the new constitution&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final public debate on the Draft of the new Constitution of Republika Srpska was held yesterday in Banja Luka, attended by the highest officials of RS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, stated after the debate in Banski Dvor that by adopting the new Constitution of RS, they would return to the original Dayton Peace Agreement, and that this is the only thing that Srpska will agree to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dodik said that Republika Srpska and the Serbian people are restoring their dignity through public debates on the new Constitution, after the final public debate on the Draft of the new Constitution of Republika Srpska was held in Banja Luka, RTRS reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dodik said that a referendum on the new Constitution could be held on January 9th, the Day of Republika Srpska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Few nations in the world have the right to adopt such important documents as a constitution. This confirms our right to Srpska, which has been attacked for 30 years. The idea is for Republika Srpska to return to itself, to the original Dayton. Srpska has no intention of creating any other documents except the one that corresponds to the letter of Dayton, and also has some unavoidable European values,&#8221; said Dodik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stated that Republika Srpska and the Serbian people are restoring their dignity through public debates on the new constitution, and that the citizens have recognized the political moment in which Srpska finds itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Serbian member and Chairwoman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, \u017deljka Cvijanovi\u0107, said that it is important for Srpska to have a modern democratic constitution that will maintain the essence of what Republika Srpska is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said that the draft of the new Constitution should be the result of professional and dedicated work that will reflect the will of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The draft constitution of Republika Srpska requires a lot of attention and expertise, and I am sure that it will be the result of the joint work of people who diligently worked on drafting the text itself, as well as on gathering opinions. It is important for Srpska to have a modern democratic constitution that will maintain the essence of what Republika Srpska is,&#8221; Cvijanovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Speaker of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska, Nenad Stevandi\u0107, emphasized that sovereign nations have the right to adopt their own constitution, and that Republika Srpska will no longer agree to redrawing and interventionism by foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision on the adoption of the Draft Constitution was made by the National Assembly on March 13th, and the first public debate was held on March 31st in East Sarajevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/bloody-easter-1944-how-the-allied-bombing-shrouded-belgrade-in-mourning-photo-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BLOODY EASTER 1944: How the Allied Bombing Shrouded Belgrade in Mourning!
