Serb member of Bosnia's tripartite Presidency Milorad Dodik congratulated former US President Donald Trump for being acquitted of charges for inciting the 6 January riots at the US Capitol, calling him a "great patriot" of his country.

Dodik assesses that the Senate’s decision to acquit Trump was very important and that it “put an end on the attempt of political revenge against Trump, who was a sovereign leader of the USA and a great patriot who loved his country.”

“Donald Trump will be remembered as patriotically oriented American President, who respected his country and the rule of law as well as the sovereignty of other countries, without interfering with their internal affairs. Those who tried to assault and endanger Trump have also jeopardised the fundamental human values he was truly fighting for,” said Dodik, currently also the Chairman in Bosnia’s rotating three-member Presidency.

The Senate decided on Saturday that Trump was not guilty of inciting the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, thus acquitting him of charges in his second impeachment trial.
