Republika Srpska leader Milorad Dodik is going to Russia on Sunday, where he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the resort of Sochi, where the Russian Grand Prix is taking place.

Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik, who is standing as a candidate for the Serbian seat on Bosnia's state presidency in the October 7 elections, has said he will stop "the interference of foreigners" in the affairs of the country if he wins the elections.

This is according to the Serb Republic (RS) President Milorad Dodik.

Washington also said that the decision should be "reconsidered."

US National Security Adviser John Bolton said that supplying Syria with the Russian missile systems would lead to "a significant escalation of the already existing tensions in the region."

She was among the 200 world officials who at least briefly talked to Trump.

"I cannot say that I had the time for a long conversation, but I thanked him for a new understanding of Serbia and an openness towards Serbia, to understand our position and to hear our voice," the prime minister of Serbia told Prva TV.

Russia supports the territorial integrity and constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sergey Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister, said in Sarajevo on Friday during his long-awaited visit to the country.

In an interview published at the weekend by the pro-Conservative British newspaper Daily Telegraph, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik said populism and divisions within Europe over immigration, Russia and America had weakened the EU's appeal to the people of Bosnia.

The US State Department on Monday barred Nikola Spiric, a Serb MP in Bosnia's state-level parliament, alleging that he has been involved in "significant corruption or gross violations of human rights".

As Bosnia's election campaign begins in earnest, Milorad Dodik's own campaign to win the Serbian seat on the Bosnian presidency is receiving support from the government of nearby Serbia.

Social media may play a huge part in political life in the US and other countries - but the top politicians running for office in Bosnia's upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections in October don't seem that interested in Facebook or Twitter.

Fan pages reveal that some key politicians do not use Facebook at all.
