Dodik convicted: one year imprisonment and six years of a political ban!

According to a judgment of a Bosnian court, Milorad Dodik, President of the Republica Srpska, has been sentenced to a one -year sentence. In addition to the prison sentence, a ban was also imposed on public or political offices for six years. However, this decision is not yet final because both the public prosecutor and Dodiks defense want to appeal. The final judgment is expected by the appeal until the end of the year, as the Berliner Zeitung

dodik was found to have disregarded decisions by the high representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schmidt. This behavior is considered serious, especially in view of the already fragile political situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The court decided that Dodik could also avoid the prison sentence by paying around 18,000 euros (around 36,000 km). This did not come about the hands-free of Milos Lukic, the incumbent director of the "Official Blatt", who was not to blame in this context, such as Kosmo reported.

dodik, a Kremlin ally, had warned in the run-up to the judgment that a negative judgment could have fatal consequences for Bosnia-Herzegovina. The political tensions in the region, which could be further fueled by the judgment, are concerned with many citizens. The National Assembly of Republika Srpska had previously passed a law that prohibited the publication of decisions of the high representative in the Official Journal, which led to this legal discussion.
