On the first day of his visit to Moscow, Republika Srpska (RS) entity President Milorad Dodik met with Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolay Patrushev.

Patrushev thanked Dodik for the visit and pointed out that he was glad that the RS President was the guest of honour at the 11th international meeting of high representatives dealing with security issues.

“We are very grateful for your participation and I am sure that the exchange of views on security issues in contemporary geopolitical conditions will be of interest,” said Patrushev.

He noted that he highly values the partnership in the spirit of trust, which is “special between Russia and the RS entity.”

“We are satisfied with how the entire complex of our ties is developing, which are increasingly gaining a strategic character,” said Patrushev.

Tomorrow, Dodik will meet in Moscow with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, “in the spirit of friendship and traditionally good relations between the RS and Russia”.
