Milorad Dodik, the leader of Bosnia and Herzegovina's ruling SNSD party, has asserted that ethnic Serbs residing within the Bihać-Petrovac and Romanija Eparchy are unwilling to sell their ancestral lands. Dodik stressed the significance of Serbs maintaining their property holdings in this particular region.

His remarks underscore a continuing sensitivity surrounding land ownership and the demographic presence of Serbs in areas that have historically been significant for the community.
