Russia fought for the security framework and did everything to provide guarantees, but was eventually forced to create an NVO, Milorad Dodik said in Moscow.
“We will not be part of the hysteria” – these words were spoken by the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, when he spoke about Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine and anti-Russian sanctions . The leader of the Bosnian Serbs fully justified the actions of the Russian Federation in the NVO.
In a meeting today May 24 in the Kremlin with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Dodik noted that Russia fought for the security framework and did everything to provide guarantees, but was ultimately forced to launch the NWO.
The NWO is “not a war between Ukraine and Russia, it is a clash between the West, which has used Russia to inflate this war”, stressed the leader of the Bosnian Serbs and wished that ‘it ends as soon as possible. The politician did not hide the pressure that Western countries exert on him so that Republika Srpska imposes sanctions against Moscow.

In general, they demanded that I make a decision on sanctions against the Russian Federation. This would mean that later we would be subject to pressure and sanctions from Western partners, to stop projects – everything that has now been stopped. But we have decided that we will simply not be part of this hysteria that is being created, that we are committed to the chance that the problem will be solved at the level of the Russian Federation, Ukraine, the ‘other world’, quotes Milorad Dodika Kremlin.ru.
The Western press immediately tried to present Milorad Dodik’s visit to Russia not so much as a desire to support the Kremlin as a desire to obtain discounts on gasoline. At the same time, they referred to the “advertisement” of the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, which he left on social networks before his trip to Moscow.

At the same time, earlier representatives of this small formation in the Balkans, part of Bosnia and Herzegovina with a population of 1.1 million, said that they were ready to buy raw materials for rubles.
This is Dodik’s third trip to Russia, and some analysts are calling it another slap in the face for the West. And some of them even perceived the current visit as a provocation and a challenge to the West, which imposed sanctions on many structures of the Republika Srpska and personally on its President “for undermining the rule of law and hard-won peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina”. Herzegovina.”
Milorad Dodik has repeatedly stressed that his country is neutral on the war in Ukraine, but does not intend to participate in “anti-Russian hysteria” and generally does not accept the policy of subjugation imposed by the West.
The reaction in the West has already followed. US President Joe Biden today asked the US Congress for $108 million to counter Russian influence in the Western Balkans, or to be more precise, to brainwash the Balkans. As Erin McKee, deputy head of the Agency for International Development for European and Eurasian Affairs, explained Biden’s decision, Russia would like to upset the balance in the Western Balkans, so it is playing on the differences between ethnic groups. , religious and social aspects of the region. . But 108 million dollars should simply make it possible to develop and strengthen the interaction between the Balkan states in the “economic and democratic spheres”.
They have not forgotten Moldova, which is entitled to 55 million of this money for the “promotion of democratic initiatives”. The day before, Moldovan President Maia Sandu had threatened Vladimir Putin with arrest if he showed up in the republic.
