Accordingly, they emphasize that Milorad Dodik did not file a criminal complaint for defamation, however, the media explained in detail in their articles that the complaint was filed by the MUP of the RS on the order of the president’s office to carry out their duties.
They discovered that the reason for the report was a video recording of the alleged guest appearance of the President of the Republic of Srpska on Radio Republika Srpska. They point out that the video appeared on the X social network, but that it was fabricated and most likely created using artificial intelligence.
