“January 9 has been confirmed [as Statehood Day holiday] by Republika Srpska citizens who were not ready to denounce that date,” Milorad Dodik, president of Republika Srpska, said tonight in the entity's parliament.
He said the Serbian people had demonstrated political maturity and determination, and that they will "respond in this way" to any attempt to humiliate Republika Srpska.
Dodik was welcomed in Parliament by Zeljka Cvijanovic, the entity’s Prime Minister.
