PANARIN: SRPSKA IS DEVELOPING, THAT IS WHY IT IS PROVOKING ENVY

BIJELJINA, JUNE 29 /SRNA/ - Russian academic Igor Panarin said on Sunday evening in Bijeljina that Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik is an excellent leader, as evidenced by everything he saw, learned, and concluded during his visit to Srpska.

"I traveled extensively throughout Republika Srpska, spoke with many people, and observed extraordinary economic achievements in the development of Republika Srpska. Because of all this, Milorad Dodik inevitably provokes at least envy, and at most a desire to see him destroyed," Panarin told SRNA. According to him, it is clear that Republika Srpska can become a "showcase" for the Balkan states. "I believe this is one of the main reasons why a hybrid war is being waged against Republika Srpska, especially against President Dodik, using forgery, abuse of the legal system, and similar tactics," Panarin emphasized. The Russian academic also said that he is a strong supporter of good relations between the Serbian and Russian peoples.
