Republika Srpska remains a strategic partner of Russia, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik said following a meeting at the Kremlin, according to TASS.
During the September 29 meeting, Dodik introduced Republika Srpska's Prime Minister Savo Minic to Russian President Vladimir Putin, a step that underscored continued high-level engagement between the Bosnian Serb entity's leadership and Moscow.
The meeting comes amid continued close ties between Republika Srpska's leadership and Russia, relations that have drawn scrutiny from Western governments given broader tensions between Russia and the West, as well as long-running disputes over the political future of Bosnia and Herzegovina's institutional structure.
Context
Republika Srpska is one of two entities that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina under the Dayton peace agreement, alongside the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dodik has for years cultivated close relations with Moscow while facing sanctions and legal challenges from Western governments and Bosnian federal authorities over separatist rhetoric and actions.
TASS did not report further details on the specific topics discussed during the Kremlin meeting beyond the characterization of the relationship as strategic.
