(a year ago)The Associated Press agency “writes that Bosnian officials challenged a set of Republika Srpska laws -- one of Bosnia's two entities -- that prohibit the judiciary and the state police from working “in the Serbian-controlled” and that these controversial “have sparked tensions in the ethnically divided Balkan country”. AP writes [...]
The AP writes that the Bosnian Serb “passed controversial laws after a Bosnian court sentenced Milorad Dodik, pro-rus of the entity ruled by Serbs in Bosnia called Republika Srpska”, and he was sentenced to “for his separatist movements”.
“Dodik, who is not in imminent danger of arrest, said he plans to ignore the decision, which is made of a formal form after an appeal process”, the AP writes.
BiH officials say the group of RS laws “represents a coup and a major step in the dissolution of the country protected by the Bosnian Serb separatist leader,”, the text says.
The AP writes that “Dodik has repeatedly called for half of the Serb-led Bosnia to join neighbouring Serbia, prompting the former US administration to impose sanctions on him and his close allies”, and “Dodik had Russian support for his policies”.
The adoption of new laws has sparked fears of incidents between rival Serb and central Bosnian police forces”, the AP writes, adding that “fighting in Bosnia erupted when Serbs in that country rebelled against independence from the former Yugoslavia and set out to form their mini-state with the aim of uniting it with Serbia”.
