Leader of the Bosnian Serbs: “I will only get vaccinated with the Russian vaccine!”
Serbian member of the BiH Presidency, currently presiding over it, Milorad Dodik, explained why he personally and the Republika Srpska choose Sputnik V.
The main advantage of the Russian vaccine over Western ones is that it is developed and produced by state institutions.
According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, Milorad Dodik intends to discuss supplies of the Russian vaccine with the head of Russian diplomacy Sergei Lavrov, who arrives in BiH this evening.
“The Republika Srpska has joined the queue to receive the Russian vaccine, and I think it is at the very top of the queue,” Dodik said. – Some other vaccines will be offered. As for me, I will make myself a Russian one. I believe in this, I don't believe in the commercial stories that come from the West. This vaccine is made by the state.”

The Bosnian Serb leader said there were serious concerns that vaccines coming from the West were causing infertility and other negative effects.
“Of course, you can’t know this for sure because you weren’t the one working on it. But my choice will be this,” Dodik concluded.
