Meeting with President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik

October 2, 2025, Sochi

Following the meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, Vladimir Putin met with President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr President,

I am delighted to meet with you once again, on the sidelines of the Valdai Club in Sochi.

Recently, you celebrated the Day of Serbian Unity on September 15, and I would like to congratulate you.

You have personally contributed greatly to the development of relations with Russia. I understand that the situation in your country and the region is difficult and complex, and I am very interested in hearing your insights.

It is a pleasure to see you.

President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik (retranslated):

I am also very happy to see you. I would like to express my pleasure at the opportunity to attend this forum.

I am pleased to see the progress in Russia. On May 9, I attended the impressive Victory Parade. It is wonderful to be in Russia again, to discuss our strong, stable and strategic bilateral relations

I agree with your observation that the situation in our country is complex. Some say we are never bored and always have something to do.

Vladimir Putin: Let us have a more detailed discussion.
