Yes. No. I don’t know. Maybe. We will see. That’s a lie. Very good. That’s not my resor.
This was said, in a fictional interview with fictional English journalists, by the very real Minister of Energy and Mining in the Government of Republika Srpska, Petar Đokić. A London-educated man who doesn’t speak English, the eternal holder of a ministerial chair despite a court ruling, a loyal warlord of Dodik’s flank formation. He hides his foreign diploma the way Selak hides his domestic one. In coalition deals, he maneuvers better than a pike in muddy water. He likes to have things, but doesn’t brag about it. He saves well and hides even better.
Are you satisfied with how we presented you in the introduction?
My name is Petar.
You are linked to numerous scandals. How much truth is there in the media reports?
Hello.
How is it possible that you are in every government, like parsley in every dish?
Need for speed.
Do you believe this is the end of Dodik’s rule?
Very good.
Has Dodik, as speculated, sold public assets of Republika Srpska in order to have U.S. Treasury sanctions lifted?
She is such a lovely girl.
Who are Republika Srpska’s friends now: the Russians or the Americans?
Probably.
When did you enroll in your studies in London?
Yes.
When did you complete your studies in London?
That’s a lie.
Can you name at least two professors whose lectures you attended?
Thank you.
Which exam was the hardest for you to pass?
I’ll be back.
Who financed your studies in London?
For God’s sake.
What did you like most about London?
How are you?
Did you use public funds of Republika Srpska during your stay in the United Kingdom?
We will see.
Why did electricity prices increase in Republika Srpska?
I’m married.
The Prime Minister of Republika Srpska, Savo Minić, said electricity would definitely not become more expensive this year. Someone, therefore, lied. Who?
I’m not married.
Was the government simply waiting for the snap elections to pass before increasing electricity prices?
I am sorry.
Should citizens of Republika Srpska expect another electricity price hike after this one?
Just a moment.
RiTE Ugljevik is in serious trouble. Will these problems be resolved, and when?
I have a brother.
Minić tells journalists to address those problems to you, you say the director of Elektroprivreda, Luka Petrović, is to blame… It seems there is no culprit after all?
No, thank you.
Will Rašid Serdarov be paid the money for RiTE Ugljevik?
No.
Is it true that Dodik and you are involved in this deal of the century?
Yes.
Will the Dabar Hydropower Plant be completed by 2027?
That’s not my resor.
What is a „resor“?
I love you.
What is the value of the deposit that „Comsar“ claims rights to?
I don’t think so.
Can the public see all the agreements your ministry has signed with Chinese companies?
Next time.
Will Republika Srpska get a new president after the repeat elections at 136 polling stations?
I don’t understand.
What result will the Socialist Party achieve in next year’s elections?
Maybe. Very maybe.
Do you approve of the fact that the Central Election Commission has initiated proceedings against Nikolina Šljivić?
I’m hungry.
What kind of relationship do you have with Dodik?
You are so beautiful.
And with Stevandić?
What is this?
Did you understand anything we asked you?
Make America great again.
