BELGRADE, Serbia, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- A Bosnian Serb leader says he will call an independence referendum if U.N. envoys insist on abolishing the Serb-run entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Milorad Dodik, prime minister of Bosnia-Herzegovina's Serb-run Republika Srpska, said he will never agree to reform police and security forces as demanded by the European Union as a condition for EU association talks, Serbia's RTS radio-television said Thursday.
Dodik said Republika Srpska has the right to secede from Bosnia-Herzegovina, just as Montenegro seceded from the union with Serbia in May, or the predominantly ethnic-Albanian Kosovo province could become independent from Serbian government in Belgrade in coming months.
In an interview on RTS Wednesday night, Dodik said he knew the U.N-appointed high representative in Bosnia could relieve him of his post, but threatened he would go into opposition in non-governmental organizations to keep on advocating Bosnian Serbs' stands and wishes.
In 1995, the U.S.-brokered Dayton peace accords ended the Bosnian war and declared Bosnia-Herzegovina a single state made up of two entities, the Serb-run Republika Srpska and the Muslim-Croatian federation.
Time to say goodbye...
The Croatians are watching intently as they want to abolish this monstrosity known as Bosnia just as much as the Serbs do. Slobo and Franjo had the right idea when the proposed splitting it up in the first place.
Serbs and Croates yhould do smartest thing and join forces in dissmentling Islamic creation "Bosnia", DSid you knew that Bosnia is member of Islamic Conference?
Bosnian Croats act like scorpion in Aesop fable > It's their nature to hate Serbs, even if it is to their own detriment.
Don't count on them acting rationally. The only option is some kind of deal between Croatia and Republic of Srpska.
An independent Serbian republic sounds good...let's move it along.
Correct. The spirit of 1875 (rebellion by Croats and Serbs against the Ottomans) is being revived.

It needs to be accelerated.
