“Terrorists reward terrorists” – Dodik honours Vladimir Putin and Jacques Hogard

During the commemoration of the unconstitutional day of the Republika Srpska, President of the Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik honoured retired French army colonel Jacques Hogard and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He awarded Hogard for his “meritorious service in promoting Serbian interests” and for his military actions in Kosovo.

At a ceremony to mark the Republika Srpska Day, the retired French colonel was presented as a “hero” and “saviour” of the Serbs.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Croatia Vasyl Kyrylych reacted on the occasion of the awarding of Putin.

In a post on Twitter, he stated that terrorists reward terrorists.

“Terrorists reward terrorists. Servants reward their masters. Both the former and the latter are ruled by fear. Over time, this fear corrodes both the terrorist and the servant,” Kyrylych wrote on Twitter.

Teroristi nagrađuju teroriste. Sluge nagrađuju svoje gospodare. I prvima i drugima upravlja strah. S vremenom taj strah izjeda i terorista i slugu. pic.twitter.com/kmYE86eL5y

“We are grateful to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin”, Dodik said, noting that the position of Republika Srpska has been preserved thanks to Russia.

Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik is considered one of the few politicians to maintain good relations with Putin even after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

He often relies on Russia and supports its work and actions, especially after the aggression.

Dodik, following the example of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, has still not condemned the Russian invasion and, like most countries in Europe and the world, has not imposed sanctions on that country./The Geopost/
