Vucic, Dodik and patriarch discuss top national issues

SRBAC - The presidents of Serbia and Republika Srpska, Aleksandar Vucic and Milorad Dodik, and Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church are holding a discussion on the most significant national issues, Tanjug learns.

They met at the Osovica monastery in the Republika Srpska municipality of Strbac, and the closed-door discussion is planned to last until their departure to the town of Srbac, where they are due to visit a newly-built kindergarten at 5 pm.

The meeting was expected to address the situation in Kosovo-Metohija and the expectations of big powers in further Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.

The topics should also include the strong pressure on the Republika Srpska leadership, which has been collectively blacklisted by the US, as well as attempts by some Western states and Bosniak political circles to blame Banjaluka for a disintegration of the Dayton Agreement, which is a great threat to the survival of Republika Srpska.
