Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin met with the President of the Republic of Serbian as part of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik. This was reported by the Kremlin press service.
During the meeting, the Russian leader thanked Milorad Dodik for the “neutral position on events in Ukraine.”
“Only such a position can lead to some positive decision. But in any case, we are grateful to you for restraint,” said Putin.
According to him, relations between Russia and the Republic of Serbian are developing successfully. “Over the past year, we have an increase in the turnover – it is in absolute values, of course, small, but the trend is good – [amounted to] 57 percent. This trend, of course, needs to be preserved,” Putin said.
“I know about the interest of our partners in the Republic of Serbian in working with our large companies in various directions. I hope that it will be so. We have appropriate tools that are called to be used in order to achieve even greater results”, – added the head of the Russian state.
