The extraordinary session of Bosnian Serbs: Dodik urged people to vote in referendum

Dodik, leader of Bosnian Serbs, said citizens should vote in a referendum that would allow the creation of an army, an intelligence agency, a prosecutorial council and an indirect tax administration.

The possibility of the referendum is a new moment in terms of intentions to withdraw from Bosnia and Herzegovina entirely.

According to the consensus proposed by the ruling coalition, Republika Srpska's parliament must today withdraw approval for the formation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's military forces and other authorities.

Dodik said war was not an option.

Let's fight for our rights by political means. Republika Srpska will not defend itself by military means even if attacked by weapons,” ♫ Dodik said. /Periscope
