Dodic asked for help from Russia and threatened the EU in order not to be arrested
However, Dodik's arrest was requested – on his birthday – after he did not appear in court at the summons. The Bosnian Serbian politician can actually pay a fine instead of being imprisoned. In addition to him, arrest warrants were also issued for the chairman of Parliament in Banka Luka Nenad Stevendic and Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic. Both called the court and the prosecutor's office of Bosnia « unconstitutional ».

Meetings with Russian representatives, euphorus as an « occupation army »
Dodic's proximity to Moscow called the actions against him, politically motivated. The President of the Republic of Srpska has been playing for years with the idea of separation from Bosnia and Herzegovina, claiming that the Bosniaks have seized the political and social space and are puppets of the West. They support it, next to Russia, Hungary and Serbia.

He announced that he was planning to hold high -level meetings with Russian representatives in the coming days and that he would ask Russia to veto the extension of the European peacekeeping mission for Bosnia at the UN Security Council, which should take place in November.
The EU's peacekeeping forces, the euphor, said on Tuesday that they had begun to have reserve forces for their Altea mission in Bosnia to maintain stability and security. She declined to point out the number of soldiers, but hundreds of new troops are expected to arrive. This step was requested last week by some of the national institutions (of which the Serbs otherwise are part) in Sarajevo.
| According to the Klix site in Bosnia, the first new euphorus additions have already landed. Dodic's threats today were at the same time the mission to declare an « occupation army ». According to him, even if the euphorus brings 10,000 people, this will not change anything, but if necessary, « maybe » will come to a similar label by an occupier.
His comment was accompanied by an appeal to the euphorus to stick to his term, because no Serb would have endured to shoot at him. However, there was a direct threat (containing obscene expressions) to the commander of Euphorus, Florini, who came from Romania (his origin was part of the message). |

Dodic goes even further, but the US is not behind him

His statement was a blow to Dodik, who hoped that President Donald Trump's administration would favor his separatist agenda. At today's meeting in parliament, the opposition also warned of the false promises that Trump would maintain the Republic of Srpska.
