Bosnian Serb Leader Loses Appeal Over Jail Term and Ban
A Sarajevo court has upheld a prison sentence and six-year office ban for the president of Republika Srpska, who defied Bosnia’s peace overseer.

A Sarajevo court has upheld a prison sentence and six-year office ban for the president of Republika Srpska, who defied Bosnia’s peace overseer.
Milorad Dodik will not appear at a court hearing in the country’s capital next week.

The Bosnian Serb forces threatened with a shootout if their federal counterparts attempted to capture President Dodik.
The proposal adds a new twist to the tense standoff over Bosnia’s fragile post-war governance.

The High Representative “made criminal laws according to which I, elected by the will of the people, was tried for an act that I committed exercising my constitutional powers.”

The politician urges NATO to activate a secret contingency plan involving military intervention to safeguard the Dayton treaty.

Milorad Dodik is challenging Bosnia’s judiciary as he pushes to kick federal authorities out of the country’s Serb-majority region.

“The Bosnia and Herzegovina you knew no longer exists,” Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said after being found guilty of defying the country’s UN High Representative.

President Vučić warned of “difficult days” ahead, leading to fears of renewed conflict in the Balkans.

“There can be no sovereignty if you’re a colony,” Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said, calling Bosnia’s western supervision illegitimate and announcing a possible referendum on the region’s future, which could rip the country apart.
