The President of SBB (Savez za bolju budućnost - Alliance for a Better Future), Fahrudin Radončić, reacted to the statements of the member of the Presidency of BiH and the leader of the SNSD, Milorad Dodik, against whom the United States imposed new sanctions yesterday.

- At yesterday's press conference of the SNSD, after the United States deservedly imposed new sanctions on him, Milorad Dodik mentioned me in a negative context among several respectable personalities from the international community. In that sense, it is an honor for me to be in the company of people whom Dodik is trying to satanize in the most mundane way.

So, he attacked me with a story in which I am the main character of the alleged criminal schemes.

However, the public knows that I have been legally acquitted before international and domestic judicial institutions of all charges that Milorad Dodik is now mentioning.

First of all, before the EULEX International Tribunal in Kosovo. In a fair trial, all allegations in the indictment, represented by prosecutor Andrew Hughes, were completely rejected.

The same happened before the Court of BiH. From today's point of view, I am glad that Hughes was the main actor in the story, because the EULEX Supervisory Authority (HRRP) in case no. 208-01 of 16 September 2021, by the Decision on the merits of the case, and on the appeal of my lawyers, additionally and definitively established that "my human rights protected by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights have been violated".

Now, after the process is over, it is time for my financial compensation claim, which will amount to millions of euros. The same applies to compensation for unfounded detention in Sarajevo.

So, this is a judicially adapted story, which - and was publicly acknowledged by some actors - was mounted at the top of the SDA and submitted to the international community and the domestic judiciary.

Finally, my advice to Milorad Dodik is to have confidence in the judicial system under the auspices of the international community or at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The on who is not guilty, has no reason to be nervous – it is concluded in the statement.
