BANJALUKA, MAY 7 (ONASA) – At the ceremonial opening of the Arnaudi Mosque in Banja Luka, the President of the RS Milorad Dodik spoke
He said that today we are witnessing a great thing.
– What happened today 30 years ago was a big mistake. The demolition of Arnaudija was an act of insanity, and today, thirty years later, we are witnessing the construction and construction of this beautiful building here. On behalf of the RS, I am grateful to everyone who helped and allocated funds for the construction of this beautiful mosque, said Dodik.
The President of the RS added that today this gathering is evidence of peace.
– We are gathered here to testify in this time that only peace can survive in these areas. Each of us has the right to be our own, to be a member of another or a fifth nation, but what each of us must build is peace. And we are witnessing exactly that today here from this place, said Dodik.
He congratulated Muslim believers on the opening of this mosque.
– I want to congratulate Muslim believers on this mosque day holiday, and I want to congratulate all believers who live here in Banja Luka on the opening of this mosque. I want believers to use this in the greatest peace and freedom, said Dodik, and added:
“Politicians with somewhat heated passions are sending various messages these days. And I will send only one. The only thing left for us in our lives is to live it in peace. I greatly appreciate the fact that we are gathered here today to witness this success, not only the construction of the mosque but also to our gathering. May this mosque serve you for prayers, may it serve all good people, finished his address.
