Today, the Police Department of the Ministry of Interior of Sarajevo Canton will strengthen its forces in the wider area around the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina due to the hearing of the President of the RS Milorad Dodik and acting Director of the Official Gazette, Miloš Lukić.
Although there is no official announcement, the operational knowledge of the police indicates that a larger number of supporters of the SNSD leader could come to the front of the state court building today in order to support him before the start of the trial and put additional pressure on the judiciary and institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Security of the area behind the fence of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina is carried out by members of the Directorate for the Coordination of Police Bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they will certainly be on alert.
With his statements, Dodik further heated up the atmosphere by confirming that he will respond to the court’s summons.
“I am going to defend the Republika Srpska, and my personal fate is less important and I will have something to say on that topic, I will have the opportunity, probably, one day. I expect a complete degradation of the law, the Constitution of BiH, everything that makes sense in this process. Srpska will respond very clearly and decisively to this farce. We will carry out several important activities in this regard, and I think this is an opportunity to liberate Republika Srpska from Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina,” he said.
He says that his motive is solely to complete “that circus” by accusing American Ambassador Michael Murphy, High Representative Christian Schmidt and all the way to Judge Jasmine Ćosić-Dedović.
A plea hearing is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., Klix.ba reports.
