- Story Text:Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik on Tuesday (April 1) in Kremlin, president's aide Yuri Ushakov took part in the meeting as well.
A court in Bosnia has issued an international arrest warrant for Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik who is accused of attacking the constitutional order and has gone abroad in defiance, the court said on Thursday (March 27).
Dodik, the president of Bosnia's Serb Republic region, has triggered the gravest crisis since a 1990s war after being sentenced for a year in jail and banned from politics for six years over ignoring rulings by an international peace envoy.
Dodik, the pro-Russian long-time advocate of secession from Bosnia, had initiated legislation barring the state judiciary and police from operating in the Serb region, but Bosnia's constitutional court temporarily suspended that.
Defying an internal arrest warrant, he crossed into neighboring Serbia earlier this week then traveled to Israel for an antisemitism conference in Jerusalem on Thursday.
Dodik says the accusations against him are meaningless as they are politically motivated. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
