DODIK TO BLOOMBERG: TRUMP CAN CHANGE ANTI-SERB NARRATIVES

BANJA LUKA, APRIL 28 /SRNA/ – President Milorad Dodik expressed his belief that US President Donald Trump is someone who can change narratives that have been disastrous for Serbs and Republika Srpska.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Dodik emphasized that there is a clear difference between criminal administration of former US President Joseph Biden and the current Trump administration, which does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

"The new administration has a new framework. They want to maintain peace and develop business here. I believe them when they say they will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

Srpska interprets this as it was connected to BiH, a failed country that has no chance of survival," Dodik said.

According to him, Americans are nevertheless interested in doing business in BiH, a country where no amount of US money can prevent its collapse.

"The United States has been trying to build BiH for the past 30 years, but instead of Einstein, they created Frankenstein. The Balkans are not yet on Washington's agenda, but once they are, I believe we will be an important factor," Dodik assessed.

Speaking about Srpska's foreign policy, Dodik stressed that a balance between relations with the United States and Russia is possible, as the positions of those two countries are not as different as those between Moscow and the European Union.

"Europe has lost the values it promoted, such as human rights, freedom of movement, and competitiveness.

We have said that we want to join the EU, but without having processes imposed on us," Dodik concluded.
