"Those who dream about a unitary Bosnia and Herzegovina and hope to strip the Serb Republic of its authorities under the disguise of European integration should know that we will never, and at no condition, give up our autonomy, even at the cost of not joining the EU," he told the RS parliament.
„Oni koji sanjaju o unitarnoj Bosni i Hercegovini i nadaju se da će pod plaštom evropske integracije lišiti Republiku Srpsku njenih nadležnosti, treba da znaju da mi nikada i ni pod kojim uslovima nećemo odustati od svoje autonomije, čak ni po cenu ulaska u EU“, rekao je on u Skupštini RS.
