News Summary

Dodik decision to dismiss me wrong – Gligoric

RS Deputy Prime Minister and Labor and War Victims Minister Tihomir Gligoric told RT RS that RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik did not allow him to participate in a meeting of the government held on 29 January. In his opinion, Dodik, who is attempting to prove to the public that he is a brave man, lacked the courage to look him in the eyes. This is because Dodik is aware of the fact that his reasons for dismissing Gligoric are untrue and baseless. Gligoric said that Dodik’s decision is wrong. He also said that he would always first support the families of fallen soldiers, war invalids and orphans, then the RS Government. According to Gligoric, Dodik has no constitutional grounds for such a dismissal. He believes the RS National Assembly should clearly state its position on this issue.
