SARAJEVO: Bosnian authorities have issued an arrest warrant for ethnic Serb leader Milorad Dodik, a senior police officer said on Wednesday, as part of an investigation into his alleged flouting of the country´s constitution.
The announcement comes a week after police said they were seeking to question Dodik, who remained defiant and called on federal police to ignore the order.
But according to the head of police in Bosnia´s Muslim-Croat statelet, an arrest warrant has now been issued by the authorities. It also includes orders to detain Republika Srpska Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic and Parliamentary Speaker Nenad Stevandic. “We received an arrest warrant for these three individuals,” said Vahidin Munjic during an interview with local media.
