Milorad Dodik announced strategic cooperation between the Republika Srpska and Russia

Relations between the Republika Srpska and the Russian Federation are at the highest level and are maintained within the framework of strategic cooperation. This was stated by the chairman of the ruling Republika Srpska party within Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Union of Independent Social Democrats, Milorad Dodik, RTRS reports.

“The Republika Srpska supports the Russian Federation in its efforts to ensure stability and freedom,” the politician emphasized. According to him, concerns about NATO expansion are justified, which, in turn, justifies a special military operation in which Russia wants to succeed.

Dodik also commented on US President Donald Trump’s invitation to Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in America. In his opinion, this shows that Russia is irreplaceable, and if the world wants to improve relations, Moscow must sit down at the negotiating table.

In addition, Dodik said that the Dayton Agreement turned into ruins due to the deception of the West. “Just as he violated the terms of the Minsk agreements, he violated the terms of the Dayton agreement,” he said. The politician noted that the plan to do the same in Russia, which the West failed to suppress, failed.

“We recognize Russia's strength and support its efforts to negotiate with countries, regardless of their potential, on equal terms, unlike the West, where there is a tendency to treat everything as a protectorate,” Dodik added. He recalled that Russia has always acted in a principled manner in the UN Security Council regarding the Dayton Agreement.
