The man who helped overthrow Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic says
the State Department is pressuring him to hand over Christian Bosnia
to its powerful Muslim neighbor, threatening the delicate balance that
ended the Bosnian War.

The Bosnian Serbian entity was created under the 1995 Dayton peace
accords.

"At the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo, I was threatened that if I did not
agree to these U.S. demands, I would have problems," Bosnian Serb
Prime Minister Milorad Dodik told NewsMax in an exclusive interview.

In a meeting on Wednesday at the State Department, Dodik said that
Assistant Secretary Daniel Fried didn't repeat the threats, but
insisted that Dodik and the Christian Bosnian Serb government agree to
dissolve its independent police force and parliament, and merge them
into Muslim-majority federal institutions.

"The United States is trying to assimilate us into Bosnia and
Herzegovina (BiH), which is a Muslim entity," Dodik said. Today, Dodik
will be meeting with Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, who is
expected to reinforce these demands. Dodik told NewsMax, "I will
refuse."

Asked why he was coming to Washington if to be read the riot act,
Dodik said it was "hard to refuse when you've been summoned."

Nearly 1.4 million Serbian Christians live in the Republic of Srpska,
the autonomous Serbian entity that Serbs say was "forced down [their]
throats" under the 1995 Dayton agreement.

Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. official who negotiated the 1995
agreement, told a forum marking the 10th anniversary of the Dayton
accords in November 2005 that among his "mistakes" were the words
"Republika Srpska." He called for the Serbian entity to be dissolved
into Muslim Bosnia.

Dodik said that while 99 percent of Bosnian Serbs would prefer to live
in an independent state, the Dayton accords had achieved a "balance"
and that it would be a mistake to change them now.

State Department spokesman Tom Casey was taken by surprise when a
reporter asked him at the daily briefing on Wednesday about the visit
of Dodik and BiH president, Sulejman Tihic, a Muslim.

"I can confirm for you that we will have some Bosnian officials here
in the building today," he said. "They'll be meeting here with Dan
Fried. It's an opportunity for us to talk about our longstanding
desire to see Bosnia move forward with some of the necessary
constitutional reforms that we have long been advocating and that many
Bosnian leaders have long recognized as being necessary for the
country to finalize the Dayton process."

The only Bosnian leaders seeking the "reforms" Casey mentioned are
Bosnian Muslim leaders, Dodik said.

"If the U.S. project of turning BiH into a single government
controlled under one man one vote, in 10 years there will be no more
Serbs in the area. All I want is for the U.S. to leave us alone."

Under the current arrangement, the Bosnian Serbs have 22 members of
the federal parliament, and the Bosnian Muslims have 24 members.
Simple majority rule, as advocated by the United States, would allow
the Bosnian Muslims to transform the Bosnian federation into an
Islamic Republic.

In addition, the assimilation of the independent Bosnian Serb police
force into a single, federal force "would mean we must accept
terrorists who have been recruited into the police by the Bosnian
Muslims."

Dodik and several advisers who also spoke with NewsMax in Washington
warned that Muslim Bosnia has become "a platform for attacking the
United States and Europe using 'white' Al Qaeda members who look like
Europeans."

"When I was asked by [former State Department official] Bob Gelbard
why we have to stay in Bosnia, I said it was to prevent the creation
of a Muslim state in the heart of Europe," Dodik said.

Well before the Dayton accords, the Bosnian Muslim authorities forged
a close relationship with Osama Bin Laden, even providing him a
Bosnian diplomatic passport after his Saudi passport was revoked by
the Saudi government.

Five of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were trained in Bosnian Muslim al
Qaeda camps.

During the Clinton administration, "the U.S. gave its blessing as
4,400 jihadis came to Bosnia from Afghanistan," Dodik said.
