🇮🇱🤝🇷🇸 — Ahead of Dodik Verdict, a proof of Israeli-Serbian friendship emerged as the Strongman of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, shared a video showing a Jerusalem Rabbi praying for him and for Serbian people in Bosnia

On Statement via Twitter/X, Mr. Dodik said:
Thank you to the rabbi who held a prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem last night in which he stated:

"For the success and progress of President Milorad Dodik, son of Mir, a dear friend of the Jewish people. May there be blessings in all his deeds, may he overcome all difficulties, slanderers and opponents, and may the Holy One, the Blessed One, protect him from all his enemies. Amen.
On the 26th of Shevat 5785. Jerusalem."


➡️ It is well-known that Dodik has good relations with the State of Israel, the US Republicans and the Russian Government, being one of the few Pro-East figured to condemn October 7th massacre and Hamas-led Terror offensive into Israel

🇧🇦❌🇷🇸❗️ Bosnian Serb leader Dodik sentenced to prison for defying EU-Backed International Peace Envoy

➡️ A Bosnian court has sentenced Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to one year in prison for defying the rulings of the international peace official overseeing peace in the Balkan country.

➡️ On Wednesday, the court in Sarajevo also handed the 65-year-old leader of Bosnia’s autonomous Republika Srpska a six-year ban from office.

➡️ Dodik, president of Bosnia’s autonomous Serb Republic, was indicted in 2023 for signing laws that suspended rulings by the constitutional court and by international peace envoy Christian Schmidt.

Dodik has rejected the indictment as politically motivated.

“There is no reason to worry. I learned to put up with more difficult things,” Dodik told supporters in Banja Luka.


❗️ The Implications of this move, as Russian Observers note, could lead to the dissolution and collapse of Bosnia & Herzegovina as we know
