"We turned down migrants, they put them in Serb villages"

The president of Republika Srpska (RS) Milorad Dodik said there is a serious intent to keep a fair number of migrants in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H).

He said that after RS refused to open three reception centers for migrants, the Council of Ministers of B&H decided to situate them across Serbian villages in the Federation of B&H so that they could stay there permanently.

"If they apply for asylum they will get it and in five years they will become full-fledged B&H citizens with the right to vote," Dodik said answering the question on migrant crisis during his guest appearance on Saturday on RTS.

According to Dodik there is a great number of persons among the refugees who could pose a security threat, and the only solution for migrant crisis in B&H is deportation.

"As a member of the Presidency of the B&H, - and I'm certain I will get elected - I will demand they be deported," Dodik said.
