Bosnian Serb leader and current Chairman of Bosnia's tripartite Presidency Milorad Dodik wished a happy birthday to US President Donald Trump, wishing him good health, best of luck and success at the duty he performs.

The Presidency Chairman hopes Trump would carry out the policy that would contribute to the peace and stability in the whole world, which is of great importance for the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“This is an opportunity to thank you for your clear stance that America under your leadership rejects the ideology of globalism and supports the patriotism doctrines in the whole world,” said the birthday note.

Dodik was blacklisted by the former US administration for what they assessed was a breach of the Dayton Peace Agreement, a peace treaty created at the international level to end the 1992-95 Bosnian war.

For years, Dodik has been advocating secession of Republika Srpska, Bosnia's Serb-majority entity that he represents in the state institutions, and its merging with neighbouring Serbia.

The sanctions that were introduced on him Dodik labelled as an act of the old and outgoing US administration.
