RUSSIAN TEAM THAT DEVELOPED CANCER DRUG MAKES ITSELF AVAILABLE TO SRPSKA

BANJA LUKA, SEPTEMBER 30 /SRNA/ - President Milorad Dodik said that a Russian team of scientists tasked with developing a cancer drug has made itself available to Republika Srpska.

Dodik said that citizens of Republika Srpska would be able to participate equally in those procedures.

"It is by no means a simple matter to present Republika Srpska before 14 Russian academicians," Dodik said upon arriving at Banja Luka Airport from Moscow.

Dodik said that particular attention in cooperation with Russia would be devoted to the spiritual sphere.

"These are our languages, history and culture. There are already teams working on this, and we will strive to expand these activities even further," Dodik stressed.

He stressed that Republika Srpska supports Russia and would not impose sanctions on it.

"We refuse to impose visas on Russia, and we are not prepared to participate in processes that would bring us closer to NATO. They brought depleted uranium to us and increased the number of malignant diseases. NATO did not give us a solution for curing cancer - instead, our Russian friends offered it to us, with whom we have completely equal treatment," Dodik said.
