Milorad Dodik ispričao je u intervjuu za RTS svoju verziju pregovora s američkom administracijom koji su doveli do ukidanja sankcija njemu i do odlaska visokog predstavnika Christiana Schmidta, kao i to kako je proslavio vijest o ukidanju sankcija u moskovskom restoranu. Prema Dodikovim riječima, u jednom su trenutku Trumpovoj administraciji poručili da ih varaju i da više ne žele sudjelovati u razgovorima. Američka strana je, tvrdi, odgovorila da ih ne vara, na što je on zatražio ukidanje sankcija koje su mu uvedene. Washington je zauzvrat, kaže, tražio povlačenje dva do tri zakona Republike Srpske koje je poništio Ustavni sud Bosne i Hercegovine. Dodik navodi da je odgovorio kako je to premalo s njihove strane jer bi se zbog toga morali vratiti u skupštinu i raditi “puno drugih stvari”. Kada su ga pitali što je još potrebno, kaže da je odgovorio: "Riješite se ovog Schmidta.”
Na novinarovo pitanje slušaju li ga Amerikanci, Dodik je odgovorio da ne zna slušaju li njega, ali da Schmidta “sada nema”. Kada ga je novinar pitao jesu li ga uklonili, uz smijeh je rekao da ga ne slušaju te da su se “stvorile okolnosti”. Na pitanje tko je Schmidtu rekao da ode, odgovorio je: "Onaj koji je to trebao reći". Na novinarovo pitanje misli li na Donalda Trumpa, rekao je da je to netko rekao.
Dodik tvrdi i da su Schmidtu, kada je otišao u Ameriku, rekli da je "završio posao" i da može ravno u Njemačku. Prema njegovoj tvrdnji, Schmidt je zatim plakao i tražio da barem ode po svoje stvari u Sarajevo, što je i učinio.
This evening Milorad #Dodik told his side of the story on the negotiations that led to the lifting of 🇺🇸 sanctions and Christian #Schmidt’s resignation, as well as how he celebrated the lifting of 🇺🇸 sanctions in a #Moscow restaurant. Full transcript: Milorad Dodik: "So at one point we told them [Trump administration]: 'You're deceiving us, we don't want this any more — thank you.' They said: 'No, no, we're not deceiving you.' I said: 'If you're not deceiving us, then lift also the sanctions put on me.' Then they said: 'Hold on.' We told them: 'OK, what are you missing?' And then they asked for those two or three laws — the ones the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina had struck down, laws of Republika Srpska. I said: 'Okay, the Court repealed them anyway; we'd have to go back to the assembly and do a lot of other things.' But I said: 'Fine, but that's too little from your side.' So they said: 'How is it small?’ We said ‘It's small.' Then they said: 'What else is needed?' Then I said: 'Get rid of this Schmidt.'" Journalist: “And the Americans listen to you?” Dodik: "Well, I don't know if they listen to me, but in any case — he's gone now." Journalist: “And did they kick him out?” Dodik: [laughs] "No, no — I don't think they listen to me. Let's just say that circumstances were created." Journalist: “Wait, wait. You say: get rid of that Schmidt — and he leaves, right?” Dodik: "Well, circumstances came together." Journalist: “And who told him to go?” Dodik: "You know — the one who was supposed to say it." Journalist: “The one with the cap [Donald Trump]?” Dodik: "Someone said it. Anyway, when he [Schmidt] went over to America, they told him: 'You've finished your job, you can go straight to Germany.' Then he cried and asked just to go and collect his things in Sarajevo. And that's how it went — he went, picked up his things, and disappeared." Journalist: “What did you drink in Moscow? Do you mix whisky and vodka?” Dodik: "We were flying from Minsk to Moscow. When we boarded the plane, there was no talk of it [lifting of sanctions]. We land at Moscow airport. A message comes through: all sanctions lifted. And that's how we found out. And of course, then came the hunt for a good restaurant — and for Serbian music. There was a student of ours there studying music; we gathered them all in one restaurant and celebrated the lifting of the sanctions. That's true. What else could we do? I couldn't wait until I got back to Banja Luka. We had to celebrate..." Journalist: Well, where else? Dodik: "[We're] true Serbs." Journalist: “And did you mix whisky and vodka? I'm not asking for no reason.” Dodik: "Once I've had a bit to drink, then I no longer [keep track]..." Source: https://t.co/wkLqEdhgQo

Za ukidanje sankcija Dodik je rekao da je doznao tijekom puta u Moskvu. Letjeli su iz Minska, a u avionu, kaže, o tome nije bilo govora. "Sletjeli smo na moskovski aerodrom. Stigla je poruka: sve sankcije su ukinute", ispričao je. Potom su, dodaje, tražili dobar restoran i srpsku glazbu, okupili nekoliko ljudi, među njima studenta glazbe koji je bio u Moskvi, i proslavili. "To je istina. Što smo drugo mogli učiniti?" rekao je, dodavši da se jedva čekao vratiti u Banju Luku. Na pitanje miješa li viski i votku odgovorio je da, kad malo popije, više ne prati.
