A draft agreement planned to be signed by the United States and Russia has appeared on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
According to unofficial information, which exists in Moscow, the Biden administration and the United States have no major objections to the draft agreement.
In any case, this sheds additional light on the current situation in BiH, where American and Russian influences are breaking down.
