Referendums in Republika Srpska

In his message, addressed also to the government and the people of the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Vucic wished them "steadfastness and longevity."

This took place as the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) is celebrating its day.

Nikolic was honored for special merits in developing and strengthening cooperation and political relations between Serbia and the RS, as well as for his outstanding contribution of a broader significance to the affirmation and post-war development of the RS, the N1 BiH broadcaster is reporting.

Dodik called on Ivanic "to ensure participation of members of the Armed Forces of BiH from the ranks of the Serb people" at the January 9 celebrations of the day of the Serb entity in BiH.

January 9 is the day of the Serb Republic (RS), the Serb entity in BiH.

"I refused any participation of the Armed Forces of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the marking of RS Day. I do not want to have any more arguments about this," Dodik told TV K-3 late on Thursday.

The president of Republika Srpska, Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity, Milorad Dodik, sent a letter to the Serb member of the Bosnian presidency, Mladen Ivanic, calling for Bosnia to support Israel and US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly on Thursday.

Serb Republic (RS) President Milorad Dodik said on Thursday, after his meeting in Banja Luka with Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin.

Dodik stressed that all RS representatives in BiH institutions will have to support this decision, given that the RS National Assembly recently adopted a declaration on military neutrality.

RS President Milorad Dodik said in an interview with DW that a referendum on the independence of the (Serb) entity is currently not an institutional topic.

He claims, however, that BiH (Bosnia-Herzegovina) will not survive in any form

Bosnia's potential recognition of the independence of Kosovo will not happen and the issue is closed, Mladen Ivanic, the Serbian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said on Wednesday.

Milorad Dodik has called on Serb representatives in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) institutions to stop working and leave those institutions.

The reason is the threat of war made toward the Serb entity in BiH, the Serb Republic (RS), a statement said on Tuesday.
