Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska (RS), claimed on October 5 that European politicians are preparing Europeans “for a big war” to retain power. He argued that calls from European leaders for militarization reflect their failure to address social issues. According to Dodik, European society is moving away from principles like human rights and the rule of law, becoming “increasingly fragmented and uncoordinated.” He criticized the current structure in Brussels and Western Europe for undermining social stability and eroding Europe’s former advantages.
Dodik stated that the focus on militarization and fear “is quite logical” given these developments. He highlighted the Serbs’ historical grounds to oppose this shift, calling Germany’s militarization a “disaster.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban echoed concerns about European tensions, stating on October 3 that EU countries are “sliding towards war.” He warned of growing risks and potential global conflict if major powers make mistakes. Earlier, Orban accused Brussels of seeking war over Ukraine. Meanwhile, Armando Mema, a former Finnish parliamentary candidate, claimed Europe’s goal is to provoke hostilities with Russia, noting current unpreparedness for such a conflict.
