Republika Srpska Supports Russia, Special Military Operation, Will Never Join NATO - Dodik

Republika Srpska, a Serb-majority entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, supports Russia and its special military operation and opposes sanctions against it as well as Bosnia's possible accession to NATO, Milorad Dodik, former president of Republika Srpska and leader of the ruling Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, said.

"I am here to reaffirm our strategic-level cooperation and our support for Russia when it comes to its special military operation, that Republika Srpska will never vote for any sanctions against it, and that Republika Srpska has no plans to join NATO and will pursue a policy of military neutrality," Dodik said at a joint press briefing with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko, who is visiting Republika Srpska's main city of Banja Luka. Russians and Serbs, as well as Russia and Republika Srpska, are linked not only by good diplomatic relations, but also by deep historical ties, the roots of their national identity, their joint fight against Nazism, and a common culture and values, Republika Srpska President Sinisa Karan said during the event. Grushko is paying a working visit to Republika Srpska this Tuesday. He held talks with Dodik and President Karan and visited the construction site of an Orthodox church in Banja Luka designed by the Center for Classical and Traditional Architecture of the Moscow Architectural Institute. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attended the ceremony to lay the church's foundation stone in September 2018.
