The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the eighth convocation. Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast)
held a meeting with the Speaker
of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Nenad
Stevandić.
Vyacheslav Volodin noted the contribution and active interaction of the two leaders — Vladimir Putin and Milorad Dodik – to the development of cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republika Srpska. Parliamentarians, on their part, should provide all the necessary legislative support to implement the decisions adopted in the interests of the citizens, as added the Chairman of the State Duma.
Nenad Stevandić told about the meeting of Vladimir Putin and Milorad Dodik held in Kazan on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit and noted the constructive dialogue between Russia and Republika Srpska.
“The BRICS Summit in Kazan has shown that it is impossible to isolate Russia. Many heads of states who want to build a multipolar, just world came there,” said Vyacheslav Volodin.
Failure of the Western sanctions policy
The Chairman of the State Duma recalled that the US and European countries had already imposed more than 22 thousand strict restrictions on Russia. “The sanctions policy has been implemented for 12 years, but by overcoming sanctions, we are getting stronger. Nothing can stop the development of our country, the development of our relations. We will once again tell all our enemies that they have failed,” added Vyacheslav Volodin.
The Speaker of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska emphasized that Republika Srpska supported the formation of a fair world order. Nenad Stevandić also noted that the Republika was forced to impose sanctions against Russia, but they did not do that. “If we impose sanctions against Russia, which has always protected and cared about us, it means that we will impose sanctions against ourselves. We are very grateful to Russia for its support and are glad that we are fighting for a better world together,” said the Speaker of the National Assembly.
“The European Union will cease to be a prison of nations”
The policy of restrictions pursued by Western leaders has not achieved the expected results, according to the Chairman of the State Duma. “Over time, we have done everything to make the development of our country more active and dynamic. Its growth in 2023 was 3.6%, this year we plan to reach 3.9%,” he added.
“The time of Bidens, Scholzes, Macrons is over. The time has come for those politicians who care about their countries, about national economies, about their development not to the detriment of anyone, but first and foremost for the benefit of their nations,” emphasized the Chairman of the State Duma. “That is why we are building relations on the principles of mutual respect, non-interference in the affairs of other states, we are doing everything to make the world more just, so that very soon we could see that the European Union ceases to be a prison of the nations of European countries and each European country can realize its potential,” he added.
Nenad Stevandić supported
the Chairman of the State Duma and expressed readiness to continue to strengthen
cooperation between the State Duma of the Russian Federation and the National
Assembly of Republika Srpska.
