The international festival “Days of Russia in Republika Srpska” has opened in Banja Luka and will last for three days.
Numerous panel discussions will feature eminent experts from Republika Srpska, the region, and the Russian Federation.
- The strategic relations between Republika Srpska and Russia are improving daily, as evidenced by the international festival “Days of Russia in Republika Srpska,” which will take place in Banja Luka from today until Monday, May 20. This festival confirms Russia’s presence here in the fields of science and culture, as we exchange opinions and, through this conference, strive to understand contemporary trends, the world, and the dynamics of the world emerging around us. This is being done by Serbian and Russian experts together, said Željko Budimir, the Minister of Scientific and Technological Development and Higher Education of Republika Srpska.
Budimir assessed that there have been many such events recently, and this is merely a continuation of cooperation that translates into direct agreements.
- The Russians increasingly understand that Republika Srpska and the Serb people are currently the only partner in Europe for the Russian world, Budimir stated.
The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Igor Kalabukhov, emphasized that “Days of Russia in Republika Srpska” is another confirmation of the close relations between Russia and Republika Srpska, especially in these turbulent times as they jointly strive for the creation of a multipolar world.
- Together, we are fighting to defend international law and our traditional values. This event will be another opportunity to share experiences and work even more effectively in this direction, said Kalabukhov.
During the festival, discussions will cover topics such as how conflicts in the Middle East and Europe affect the current state of the world, the nature of Serb-Russian relations in changed geopolitical circumstances, and presentations will include the “Balkan Diplomat” magazine and the Gorchakov Fund program.
