    Default Steve Bannon meets Bosnian Serb PM

    Bosnian Serb PM Meets Trump’s ‘Alt-Right’ Former Strategist
    Ousted from the White House, Steve Bannon is trying to help right-wing populists take power in Europe.

    Steve Bannon, US President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist who now says he wants to help right-wing populists come to power in Europe, hosted the nationalist prime minister of Bosnia’s mainly Serb entity at his Washington home on Sunday, the Republika Srpska government said in a statement.

    The government said Bannon and Zeljka Cvijanovic discussed relations between the United States and Republika Srpska, one of two entities that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    Fired from the White House last year, the architect of Trump’s populist campaign for president has turned his attentions to Europe with the creation of a Brussels-based foundation called The Movement to aid right-wing populists. His first target is the European Parliament election in May 2019.

    The Bosnian Serb leadership has made a point of courting right-wing populists; President Milorad Dodik, a party ally of Cvijanovic, has met on several occasions with members of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and with the leader of the Austrian far-right Freedom Party, Heinz Christian Strache, who has backed Dodik’s aim of independence for Republika Srpska.

    Dodik, who counts Russia as his chief big-power ally, has long been at odds with the US and the European Union, which accuse him of trying to break apart Bosnia.

    News of the meeting caused a stir in Bosnian media, which faces an election in October; those close to the Republika Srpska government stressed Bannon’s role in getting Trump elected, while others warned it was the harbinger of a ruthless campaign.

    Speaking to the Republika Srpska public broadcaster, RTRS, after meeting Cvijanovic, Bannon said The Movement was designed to be a “counterweight” to liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros, vilified by right-wing nationalists in Europe.

    Civil society groups funded by Soros “work with the media, left-wing media, to be an opposition party to these populist and nationalist parties throughout Europe,” Bannon said. “All we are trying to do is to be a counterweight.”

    In an interview with The Daily Beast this month, Bannon said: “Right-wing populist nationalism is what will happen. That’s what will govern.”

    For him to meet with the Bosnian Serb prime minister shows that he has or always had sympathy for Serbs. Soros would never do that

    Indeed. His involvement in European politics is needed and is welcome. He's getting air-time in Macedonian media too -> https://vecer.mk/balkan/strategot-na...ka-na-balkanot

    What I meant was that Republic of Srpska isn't even a sovereign state or in the EU so why would he want to speak with them? I also wonder what his stance is on Kosovo then.

    Yeah, I'd like to see that, but I suspect it's similar to Russia's
    He's also met with Le Pen, who also supports this position.

    Well, he should help the right win in Serbia then and oust Vucic. It's obvious Serbs in Bosnian will vote for Dodik again, there's no need for his help.

    I think that's the idea. To help all rightist parties across Europe get in power, or at least make in-roads.
