Orban Congratulates Dodik on Election Win, Backs Republika Srpska Interests

Hungarian PM Orban congratulated Bosnian Serb leader Dodik on his party's election victory, framing it as a strong mandate to defend Republika Srpska's interests. This signals continued external backing for separatist rhetoric in Bosnia, potentially complicating EU and US efforts to preserve the country's territorial integrity. The outcome may embolden Dodik's secessionist agenda, though the full electoral results and coalition dynamics remain to be seen.
