Viktor Orbán is currently drinking rakija with the convicted president of the Republika Srpska.

Milorad Dodik, the president of the Republika Srpska, recently hosted Viktor Orbán and his wife, highlighting their friendship. Dodik expressed gratitude for Orbán's support, particularly regarding a significant investment promised in 2023. Despite facing severe U.S. sanctions and legal challenges, Dodik has maintained a close relationship with Orbán, who has defended him publicly. The situation escalated when the U.S. condemned plans to extract Dodik from legal troubles, emphasizing the delicate balance of power in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is divided into two entities. Dodik has long advocated for the independence of the Republika Srpska, claiming that Bosnia and Herzegovina is unviable as a state.
