DODIK: I HAVE EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP WITH PUTIN

WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 25 /SRNA/ - President Milorad Dodik said that he has an excellent relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but also that he is seeking to establish the best possible cooperation not only with Russia, but also with the United States and even Brussels.

"There is no dispute that I have excellent relations with Putin, but I am not `Putin`s man`, as they claim in Brussels. They have that paranoia. I was in Brussels and there was no street lighting, and they said it was because of President Putin. I asked what that had to do with Putin," Dodik said.

Speaking on the "War Zone" podcast hosted by US President's ally and American conservative political commentator Wayne Allyn Root, Dodik said it was evident that Europe had neither leaders nor resources and that the values on which it was founded had disappeared.

"They do not understand the administration of US President Donald Trump, and there are major misunderstandings here. These are circumstances in which I am trying to do the best I can to maintain good relations with both the US and Russia, and even with Brussels, but that is impossible because migrants have prevailed," Dodik stressed.

Dodik warned that they were beginning to destroy the very fabric and foundation of Europe, adding that Europe was the loser.
