Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, expressed support for BiH Presidency member, Milorad Dodik, who is running for president in Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity, saying that Hungary considers the RS an “honorary neighbour”.

“Hungary and Serbia are neighbours, but Hungary also considers Republika Srpska as its honorary neighbour. That's why what happens there is very important for us. It has an impact on Hungary and the entire region, but of course, it also affects your lives, the lives of our friends,” Orban said.

He called Dodik a personal friend and a friend of Hungary.

“God bless all Serbs in the entire Balkans”, Orban said in his video message.
