Bosnian Serb Leader Criticizes Europe for Lies, Intolerance, and Colonial Ambitions

MOSCOW, May 13. /TASS/. Europe has become the embodiment of lies and intolerance toward political rivals, Milorad Dodik, chairman of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats party of the Republika Srpska (an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina), told TASS in an interview. "Europe is a lie. They (the European ruling circles - TASS) are doing everything they can to eliminate their political rivals," he noted. According to the Bosnian Serb leader, the current European liberals "cannot live in peace unless they seize new colonies in a modern form." "At the same time, we see that they have no leaders or raw materials. They lied about human rights - now everything is the opposite there; none of that exists," he noted. "Even during the existence of the Soviet Union, there was no such unprecedented abuse, for example, of the courts, as is happening today," the politician emphasized. Dodik pointed out that former fascists, occupiers, and Nazi criminals, through liberalism, fine words about the importance of the individual regardless of nationality or citizenship, and calls to forget the past and not think about the future, "are doing today the very same thing they did in 1941 on Hitler’s tanks." "All of this is being done to take control of our people and turn them into cheap labor for modern-day concentration camps," the politician stressed. "We - first and foremost, Russians and Serbs - cherish our traditions and culture. We value the blood we have shed together and the territories we share while leaving no one else alone. But this is not enough to quench the thirst that exists in the West," he concluded.
