The prime minister of Republika Srpska, Savo Minic, said he sees a growing number of supporters in Europe for dialogue with Russia, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS.
Minic emphasized that there is no alternative to diplomacy, dialogue, and maintaining open communication channels, according to the report. The comments reflect the official's stance on how European countries should approach relations with Russia amid ongoing tensions between Moscow and much of the West.
The report did not provide additional details on which specific supporters or countries Minic was referring to, nor did it include further elaboration on his remarks beyond the emphasis on diplomacy and communication.
Republika Srpska, one of the two entities that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina, has at times taken positions distinct from those of the broader Bosnian state and some European Union member states regarding relations with Russia. Its leadership has periodically expressed views favoring continued engagement with Moscow.
The remarks come amid a broader debate across Europe about the appropriate diplomatic posture toward Russia, with positions varying significantly among different governments and political leaders.
No response to Minic's comments from European Union officials or other regional leaders was included in the available reporting.
