Politics of Republika Srpska

The document, which has raised many eyebrows in the region in recent days reads about the idea for the dismemberment of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the accession of the Republic of Srpska to Serbia and the unification of Kosovo with Albania, and speculates that Slovenian President Janez Jansa sent the "non-paper" to Brussels.

It is stated that, according to the decision of the council of doctors of the University Clinical Center of Republika Srpska, after 16 days of fighting COVID-19, Dodik will be released for home treatment today, Banja Luka's Nezavisne novine reports.

He said that Serbia will not close the border for the people from Republika Srpska in any way, regardless of the epidemiological situation in Serbia and RS, as he firmly believes that relations with Bosnia-Herzegovina must improve, so Serbia will continue to help the Serbian people in RS and demands an end to threats of abolition and disappearance of Republika Srpska.

Sonja Karadzic-Jovicevic told media in Banja Luka on Thursday that she hopes that the removal of a plaque honouring her father Radovan Karadzic from a student dormitory in the town of Pale "will put an end to the misuse of his name".

The trial in absentia of Davor Dragicevic began on Tuesday in the Bosnian town of Banja Luka on charges of slandering three senior police officers with comments accusing them of wrongdoing in the investigation into the death of his son David.

These are just a few examples of respectful tributes that have been paid to war crimes defendants and convicts in public spaces in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the past few years.
