The Serb-led entity in Bosnia, Republika Srpska, has halted all projects being implemented with Chinese companies owing to concerns about the possible spread of the coronavirus.

Milorad Dodik, Serbian member of the Bosnian Presidency, announced the move on Sunday to Serbian television Pink, noting the potential economic consequences of the continued spread of the virus.

University professors from Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, have complained about a new decision that appears to ban them from attend state-level events that discuss education in the entity.

They told BIRN that the ban limits their freedom of speech and their role in society as educators.
