The Embassy of the United States of America in Bosnia and Herzegovina made an announcement after the member of the BiH Presidency, Milorad Dodik, said yesterday that he was eavesdropping on the American ambassador, Michael Murphy.

- What we say in private is the same as what we say in public - the United States remains committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multiethnic character and we will respond to any destabilizing, anti-Dayton activity.

All of Mr. Dodik’s blustering cannot change the fundamental fact that the RS is not a state. It is one of BiH’s two entities. His pursuit of an “Independent Srpska in BIH” isn’t protecting the RS or its residents, it is gambling with their future - it was stated from the Embassy of the United States of America in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
