Serb MP

Prosecutors in Bosnia and Herzegovina's Republika Srpska entity are investigating Bosnian Serb MP Jelena Doric following a complaint over her appointment as acting director of the entity's roads authority in apparent violation of a law concerning conflict of interest.

Ivan Todosijevic, a Kosovo Serb MP from the Belgrade-backed Srpska Lista party, did not appear on Wednesday at noon as ordered by the court to begin his two-year prison sentence for inciting ethnic, racial or religious intolerance.

Florent Gashi, spokesperson for the Kosovo Correctional Service told BIRN that "the person in question so far has not appeared to serve his sentence".

The US State Department on Monday barred Nikola Spiric, a Serb MP in Bosnia's state-level parliament, alleging that he has been involved in "significant corruption or gross violations of human rights".

Some Kosovo Serb representatives say that employees of institutions funded by Serbia in Kosovo are being pressured to attend a rally in support of President Aleksandar Vucic, and fear reprisals if they do not show up.

RS Prime Minister Zeljka Cvijanovic will be Dodik's SNSD party candidate to replace him as president of the Serb entity.

The general elections in BiH will be held on October 7.

According to the Serbian government, they "assessed that there are traditionally friendly relations between the two countries, which have a long and rich history dating from the time of acquiring Ghanaian independence."

The president's cabinet said that he would then meet with French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

Vucic was in Paris today for the annual meeting of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
