The royal y'all

My favorite newspaper Press carries a declaration from RS politicians. Pay attention to the prepositional phrase that begins the first sentence:
"U ime Republike Srpske, odbacujemo kao zlonamerne i štetne sve pokušaje da se nametne kolektivna krivica za zločine počinjene u proteklom ratu i na tako iskrivljenoj slici izazove nasilna i radikalna promena ustavnog uređenja Bosne i Hercegovine, na štetu RS i njenih građana, precizira se u zajedničkoj izjavi srpskih zvaničnika u BIH i RS."
Hey guys (and they are all guys):
1. Vas šestorica niste "Republika Srpska,"
2. Šteta ne bi bila po građane nego po vas,
3. Nije bre narod kriv nego ste vi.

are you saying that Dodik is responsible for the genocide in Srebrenica? I'm sure he would disagree...

No, Dodik is saying that you are responsible.

Heh, theres a standing joke in my office that Press is my favourite newspaper. No accounting for taste...

Have you noticed Eric the stark contradiction between resolutions passed in the RS assembly and statements made by Dodik - primarily concerning Srebrenica but not confined to this subject either.

Is the game to do something the internationals like the sound of and then make it clear to the people that the opposite is in fact true.

Looks like the Serb Radical Party (or even DSS) could learn a lesson from the RS government.

Yeah, it's a fascinating double game. Also yesterday, when the statement was released, there was another move (maybe meaningful, but I didnt write anything here) to set up an institute for study of genocide in Srebrenica:
