The Bosnian court has issued an international arrest warrant for Milorad Dodik, leader of the Serb region, who intensified tensions by banning central police forces. Last month, his actions led to accusations of undermining the constitutional order, prompting a domestic arrest warrant. Despite this, Dodik traveled to Serbia and Israel, indicating a defiance of Bosnian authorities. In a previous ruling, he received a one-year prison sentence for defying international oversight, showing ongoing conflicts between Dodik's leadership and national legal frameworks following the 1995 Dayton Accords aimed at maintaining peace in the region.
The court in Bosnia issued an international arrest warrant for Milorad Dodik, who has threatened to break away the Republika Srpska from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Dodik's defiance has led to an escalation of tensions in the region, with assertions that he and another official could defy domestic warrants by traveling abroad.
Dodik crossed into Serbia and then traveled to Israel for an antisemitism conference, indicating he may evade justice while ignoring the Bosnian prosecution.
A court sentenced Dodik to one year in prison and barred him from office for six years, but he and his allies reject the authority of Bosnian justice.
