Dodik returns to Sarajevo / Bosnian court continues to challenge arrest warrant

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, who is wanted on several charges, returned to the Serbian part of the capital today, hours after federal police tried to arrest him but retreated for fear of a conflict.

Dodik, the president of the Bosnian Serb state, is wanted by Bosnia's central judiciary after a series of separatist movements, but continues to defy an arrest warrant issued in mid-March. Since the end of its ethnic war in the 1990s, Bosnia has remained divided into two largely autonomous halves: the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska (RS) and a Muslim-Croat Federation, bound by a weak central government.

On Wednesday, federal police officers tried to enter an official building in East Sarajevo, a Serb-controlled area east of the Bosnian capital, to arrest Dodik, but were blocked by Bosnian Serb interior ministry forces.

"Our colleagues from the RS ministry were simply not cooperative or, on the contrary, they believed that it should not be carried out, that it could possibly lead to some conflict," said Jelena Miovcic, spokeswoman for the federal police force./CNA
