The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik met today in Moscow with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
Putin told Dodik that he is grateful to Republika Srpska for its friendly attitude towards Russia.
Dodik said that Republika Srpska needs cooperation with Russia on the economic front.
He emphasized that the Republika Srpska remains persistent in its position that it does not follow policies aimed at shifting the blame to only one side in the war in Ukraine.
“And we think that the Russian Federation, which persistently fought for its security framework and tried to provide these guarantees before, was simply forced in connection with this military operation,” says Dodik.
Dodik pointed out that Republika Srpska “understands that this is not a conflict between Ukraine and Russia, but a conflict between the West and Russia”.
“In any case, the Republika Srpska is stable and peaceful, but exposed to various demands for the demolition of the Dayton Agreement,” said Dodik.
Dodik repeated that the Russian Federation is a guarantor of the Dayton Agreement.
“We recorded over 100 jurisdictions that we had and were guaranteed in Dayton and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which were taken away from the Republika Srpska. All of this went through the last 20 years of imposing rules that destroyed international law,” concluded Dodik.
