Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik spoke today in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and on a global level, Srna’s Moscow correspondent reported.
Dodik began his visit to Moscow by paying his respects at the Monument to the Unknown Hero, dedicated to the approximately 28 million Russians who died in World War II.
Dodik announced on that occasion that he would attend the Victory Day Military Parade on May 9 at the invitation of President Putin.
Let us recall that last week the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued an order to issue international arrest warrants for Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and President of the RS National Assembly Nenad Stevandić, suspected of attacking the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Interpol is still reviewing Bosnia and Herzegovina’s request to issue international arrest warrants for Dodik and Stevandić, Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs in Technical Mandate Ivica Dačić said today.
The Interpol office in Sarajevo entered the international arrest warrant into the system, and Interpol Belgrade then sent a protest note to the Interpol General Secretariat.
Dačić then stated that Dodik and Stevandić are Serbian citizens and that the requests for international arrest warrants, as he stated, violated Article 3 of the Interpol Statute, which strictly prohibits any activity or intervention in matters or cases that have a political, military, religious or racial background.
Confirmation from the EUROPOL General Secretariat in Lyon is currently awaited, and states may not act on this arrest warrant until Lyon formally approves the arrest warrant.
On March 5, Milorad Dodik signed decrees promulgating laws that were adopted at a special session of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. One of the laws prohibits the activities of the Court and Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and SIPA in the territory of Republika Srpska.
The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina then temporarily suspended these laws, Srna news agency writes.
