ST. PETERSBURG, JUNE 7 /SRNA/ – SNSD leader Milorad Dodik told RIA Novosti that Vladimir Putin is expected to visit Banja Luka for the opening of a Russian-Serb church.

“I confirmed what we had previously agreed upon. We will wait until it becomes possible, whenever that may be. Whenever he is able, we will do it,” Dodik said. Dodik recalled that he met with the Russian president in Moscow during the celebration of Victory Day. “Several issues were agreed upon there,” Dodik added. He also reiterated that he would visit Moscow again at the end of September. “The only thing I know for certain is that I will be in Moscow on September 25,” Dodik said. Speaking to the Russian news agency, he argued that Europe has lost everything it could have lost and no longer has an economy. “It has to come here for energy and markets. How Russia will address Europe on this issue is a matter for the Russian leadership,” Dodik said.
