AT THE INVITATION OF PRESIDENT DODIK, ROD BLAGOJEVICH ARRIVES IN SRPSKA: TWO MEN, ONE PRINCIPLE – NEVER KNEEL BEFORE ANYONE!

BANJA LUKA, JUNE 22 /SRNA/ – At the invitation of Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, Rod Blagojevich, former governor of the U.S. state of Illinois, arrived in Banja Luka this evening. A man with a rich political background, Blagojevich is today a prominent public speaker and a close associate of the U. S. President Donald Trump.

Blagojevich is remembered in American political history as one of the youngest governors of Illinois, known for initiating major reforms in healthcare, education, and the fight against poverty. During his two terms as governor, and previously as a congressman, he was recognized for his directness, his advocacy for the rights of the ordinary person, and his willingness to challenge powerful structures which, as many others, ultimately led not to political defeat, but to legal prosecution. It is precisely this experience that connects Blagojevich with the President of Republika Srpska. Both men understand what it means when justice is weaponized for political persecution. Both are known for refusing to bow down and are judged-not for guilt, but for their independence of thought. The meetings between President Dodik and Rod Blagojevich go beyond protocol—they are encounters between two individuals who know what it means to be targeted simply for rejecting outside commands. While one has returned to strengthen America, the other remains committed to defending Srpska. Their meeting reflects a shared experience of resisting pressure and a firm resolve to preserve political integrity—regardless of the cost.
