Russians claim: 49 percent of people in BiH consider the US the most dangerous in the world

Russian state media "Voice of Russia" today published the results of a survey in which they claim that as many as 49 percent of Bosnians and Herzegovinians consider the United States of America to be the most dangerous country in the world, reports the BiH news agency Patria (NAP).

They refer to a survey by "WIN/Gallup International" for Russia and Eastern Europe, according to which as many as 24 percent of respondents worldwide consider the US a dangerous and unpredictable country. It is claimed, likely in the context of the crisis in Washington-Moscow relations over Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, that 24 percent of respondents in Asia think so, and 33 percent of respondents in the Middle East.

The lowest percentages are in the Western European countries of France and Italy, 3 and 4 percent. However, Russians claim that BiH is among the countries with the highest percentage, namely Pakistan (44 percent), Serbia (45 percent), Turkey (45 percent), and China as well as BiH (49 percent). The percentage in Russia is, of course, the highest, 54 percent.

The methodology and reliability of this survey are not known, but it is indicative that the percentage in BiH is equal to the percentage of territory occupied by Republika Srpska, reports NAP.
