RTRS

Upholding an earlier ruling, Bosnia's Constitutional Court has ruled that Republika Srpska's public broadcaster, RTRS, slandered the journalist Vladimir Kovacevic.

A year after an investigation was opened into the disclosure by several media outlets of the identity of a protected witness in the trial of five ex-policemen accused of involvement in the Srebrenica genocide, the prosecution has not announced any progress in the case.

The appointment last month of Drasko Milinovic to head the Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina has sparked criticism because of his controversial record in charge of RTRS, the public broadcaster in Bosnia's Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity.

The Serb Republic (RS) Prime Minister Zeljka Cvijanovic said this on Tuesday, and added that she was "certain that after the election all the evidence will be presented."

A Serbian investigative journalism outlet, the CINS, has denied the claims by Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik that its editor, Dino Jahic, used international funds to "topple political structures in the region".

Steve Bannon, US President Donald Trump's former chief strategist who now says he wants to help right-wing populists come to power in Europe, hosted the nationalist prime minister of Bosnia's mainly Serb entity at his Washington home on Sunday, the Republika Srpska government said in a statement.

The international community should stop using force to keep Bosnia and Herzegovina artificially alive and allows its peoples self-determination, Heinz-Christina Strache, a leader of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria, FPO, said in an interview.

Serb Republic (Republika Srpska / RS) President Milorad Dodik says the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina "is not giving up on the position of military neutrality."

In addition, Dodik announced that the National Assembly of RS will vote on this issue.
