The President of Bosnia's Republika Srpska (RS) entity Milorad Dodik commented on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's visit to Russia and Ukraine saying he supports it and praising Orban.

“I support Orban's visit to Moscow and Kyiv and his genuine efforts and sincere intentions, which have only one goal – to end the conflict and start negotiations aimed at achieving peace. With this move, Orban proved that he is one of the few politicians in the world who can be called a statesman in the true sense of the word, who prioritizes peace, dialogue, progress and development.

All those criticizing Prime Minister Orban lately, for these meetings, are only showing their bad side, that they are in favour of the continuation of the conflict, sending arms, while they are deeply entrenched in the “war trenches”. Such people cannot be people of peace and cannot be negotiators to achieve peace, unlike Hungary's Prime Minister.

They are always ready to criticize every move aimed at achieving peace and starting negotiations, while they “forget” or deliberately keep silent about the fact that Orban visited both Kyiv and Moscow in two days, all with the same desire – an end the conflict. No peace in the world can be negotiated without dialogue on both sides, which is what Orban has been working on, showing his greatness and sincere desire for peace in the world for the umpteenth time,” Dodik wrote.
