He said that after RS refused to open three reception centers for migrants, the Council of Ministers of B&H decided to situate them across Serbian villages in the Federation of B&H so that they could stay there permanently.

This happened after Kovacevic reported on an anti-government protest in Banja Luka, the de facto capital of the Serb-controlled part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BNTVreported.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik on Friday awarded Russian writer Zakhar Prilepein the award of Njegos of the First Order for his work in cultural and spiritual development and his public activity, contributing to friendly relations between Russia and Republika Srpska.

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".

Dodik recently said that it was high time for Serbs in BiH to delimitate.

Ivanic thinks that this statement represents Dodik's flagrant abuse of the problem of Bosnian Serbs in BiH for his own political campaign.

In the interview for today's edition of the newspaper Danas Ivanic reminded that Dodik said similar things before.

Opposition parties in the Republika Srpska gathered in the Alliance for Victory on Wednesday requested an extraordinary session of the parliament of the mainly Serbian entity, claiming that the prosecution was intentionally delaying the investigation into the unresolved death of a 21-year-old student.

The US embassy in Bosnia told BIRN on Monday that American sanctions on Milorad Dodik could not be removed easily, despite local media reports that the US would soon lift a travel and property embargo against the Bosnian Serb leader.

Vucic pointed out that there are those in the international environment who would like an agreement to be reached, but also those "who would like less," and that there are examples of this in Serbia, too.

Beta agency is reporting, citing an article published on the Newsweek website, that Jason Osborne and Mike Rubino, "close friends and business associates of former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski," have been hired by Dodik.

This is according to documents filed with the US Justice Department.

If Kosovo becomes a member of the United Nations and other international institutions, Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, RS, will demand the same, Milorad Dodika, the RS President, told Friday's Vecernje Novosti, a Serbian daily.
