Before leaving for Russia, the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Milorad Dodik, said that he will also discuss Althea’s mission in our country with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dodik says that he will propose that Russia support the extension of that mission at the United Nations (UN) Security Council session in November. He adds that the mission was important except when it tried to make, as he says, some new approach, but in any case, it is better for Althea to stay in our country so as not to cause discussions about BiH’s entry into NATO.
