BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: Bosnian Serbs to Ben Female Cloaking

Prime Minister of the Bosnian Serb Republic, Milorad Dodik, said that the country will seek to pass a law that bans female cloaking prevalent among Muslim extreme believers.

“Such law has been adopted in several European countries and we believe that we need to get closer to these European standards,” Dodik said.

Earlier this year, France has moved towards banning female cloaking also known as burqa although the French council has warned that a total prohibition on full body Islamic veils in public risks being found unconstitutional.

French President Sarkozy said the issue is one of a woman's freedom and dignity, and did not have to do with religion.

Dodik said that his political party will propose such law today in the Serb Republic parliament.

Dodik also said that the Serb Parliament will also debate and probably pass a declaration that condemns the Turkish genocide of Armenians.

“Tomorrow the representative group will propose that the Parliament of Bosnia adopt the declaration that condemns the genocide of Armenians done by the Turks in the same manner that western countries have done,” Dodik said.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with the Bosnian Muslim leaders few days ago where he announced Turkish investments.

Saudis have also announced that they are interested in investing millions in the Islamic half of the country. Some analysts show evidence that Saudi investments are often a front for spread of radical and violent Islamic terror known as Jihad.

Bosnian Muslims have also given one of its TV stations to the Middle Eastern TV network Al-Jazeera that is known to transmit messages that Osama bin-Laden sends to his al-Qaeda terror network cells believed to be present in Bosnia as well.

Dodik also said that he will take part in the upcoming meeting of Balkan leaders organized by Spain in Sarajevo but predicted that the meeting will fail.

“Our position is clear, change in the Bosnian Constitution is possible only to the degree that it does not violate the degree of autonomy of the Serb Republic,” said Dodik.

Dodik characterized the Constitutional change initiative as “noise” that comes from the Muslim-dominated Sarajevo that some international diplomats seized upon and “want to model Bosnia with talks of a functional state”.
