After meeting Milorad Dodik, the Serbian member of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s presidential troika, Orbán said that Serbians living in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Republika Sprska played a key role in that process. “Hungarian history shows clearly the effect of the [Balkan] region’s events on our country,” and Hungary is committed to supporting the region’s development, Orbán told the press after the meeting. “We will expand our neighbourhood and economic programme to the Republika Sprska, we will support small and medium-sized enterprises and so open new opportunities for Hungarian enterpreneurs too,” he said.
Dodik attended the 4th Demographic Summit in Budapest in September, where he said Europe needed to favour the family over migration. Europe needs to remain stable not just economically but also in the area of demography, he said, adding that this required supporting families. Dodik praised Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán’s family policies and expressed hope that they would be adopted by more and more countries in Europe.
