The three of them met in the Osovica monastery, which is located in the municipality of Srbac in the RS.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday his meeting with Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church and Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik earlier in the day had addressed all crucial national affairs for Serbs and that joint meetings in Republika Srpska had been agreed for the near future.

The meeting between the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui, with the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Porfiri, and the President of the Republic of Srpska, Milorad Dodik, has begun.
The meeting is being held in Villa Mir in Belgrade, behind closed doors.

On the request of the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, the National Assembly of Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity on Tuesday passed a law declaring rulings of Bosnia's Constitutional Court non-applicable in the entity.

The National Assembly in the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska Entity adopted amendments to the Law on Publishing Laws and Other Regulations on Wednesday evening to stop publishing decisions by the Office of the High Representative to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the entity's Official Gazette, which would render them invalid.

The Venice Commission, the Council of Europe's constitutional law experts, and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, ODIHR, have warned that the new draft law in Bosnia's Republika Srpska entity on the "Special Registry and Publicity of the Work of Non-Profit Organisation", dubbed the "foreign agents law", "contains serious deficiencies".

"We want to believe in the judges, in the Hague court that has shown so far that we, the victims, have the encouragement to move forward," Abdurahmanovic said.
