International arrest warrant issued for Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik

A court in Bosnia has issued an international arrest warrant for Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik. He is accused of attacking the constitutional order and traveling abroad in defiance, the court announced on Thursday.

Dodik, the president of Bosnia's Republika Srpska region, has sparked the worst crisis since the 1990s war after being sentenced to a year in prison and banned from politics for six years for ignoring decisions by an international peace envoy.

Dodik, a pro-Russian advocate for long-standing secession from Bosnia, had initiated legislation banning the state judiciary and police from operating in Republika Srpska, but Bosnia's Constitutional Court temporarily suspended it.

Defying an internal arrest warrant, he crossed into neighboring Serbia earlier this week, then traveled to Israel for an anti-Semitism conference in Jerusalem on Thursday.

Dodik says the charges against him are meaningless as they are politically motivated./CNA
