Yesterday, the member of the Presidency of BiH, Milorad Dodik, gave a statement in the Prosecutor's Office of BiH as a suspect in the "Pavlović Bank" affair. Afterwards, Dodik held a press conference in East Sarajevo, at which he shamefully insulted „Dnevni avaz“ and BN Television journalists, as well as several high-ranking officials, including Gabriel Escobar, the US special envoy for the Western Balkans.
Regarding Dodik's statements, the State Department gave their official position for the "Avaz" portal.
-The United States has designated Milorad Dodik for his ongoing corrupt activities and continued threats to the stability and territorial integrity of BiH. His latest inflammatory statements do not merit further comment – it was said from State Department.
We remind you that Dodik stated at the press conference, among other things, that Escobar was lying.
- Take Escobar, who constantly talks about how I went to Russia to hide my corruption. I really thought until that moment that Americans are omnipotent, that they know everything, now I saw that they have no idea. A complete lie. Imagine an envoy of the United States of America lying. How it undermines the dignity of the United States. And that Escobar is lying as soon as he starts speaking. As soon as he says something about this situation here, he lies.
Well, now, of course, he will strengthen the sanctions, what else can those who are unfit to represent the United States do - Dodik said yesterday.
