BELGRADE - Republika Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik said on Friday he expected the border delineation issue between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to be solved by the end of the year, but warned the Sarajevo authorities could complicate the matter.

The Serb Republic (RS) president says that Serbia and this Serb entity in Bosnia are one - and it is therefore less important where the border "will be drawn."

"We do not recognize this border in our subconscious, but formally speaking in the international legal sense, it exists," Milorad Dodik said in Nevesinje.

The parliament in Bosnia's Serb-majority entity, Republika Srpska, will hold a special session on Monday on shelving an earlier decision to hold a referendum on the powers of Bosnia's state-level judiciary.

Serb-Croat relations in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) are "idyllic" at this moment, journalist Tvrtko Milovic has told Sputnik.

According to him, these relations also depend heavily on the personal connection between the two people's political leaders, Dragan Covic and Milorad Dodik.

The state prosecution said it will not investigate Milorad Dodik, president of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska, over allegations that he incited ethnic and religious hatred by insulting Srebrenica victims.

The next session of the Republika Srpska parliament on October 17 could determine political relations and the balance of power in the entity in the coming months, experts say, as the 19 topics listed on the agenda include a number of hot issues.

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.

The secretary general of a small opposition liberal party in Serbia, Nova Stranka [New Party], Djordje Nakic, told BIRN that his party intends to help draw up a declaration on [the lack of] human rights in Russia - after Russia's ruling United Russia party announced it wished to help Serbs create a declaration on the preservation of Serbia's national identity.
