Bosnia and Herzegovina–Serbia relations

Bosnian Serb police on Wednesday released Davor Dragicevic after detaining him for more than 24 hours.

The father of the young man whose death has sparked political turmoil in Bosnia's mainly Serb entity, Republika Srpska, vowed to continue his campaign for justice and the regular protests in the main squqre of Banja Luka, the main city in the RS.

They will represent Bosniaks (Muslims), Croats, and Serbs, respectively, in this tripartite body.

They might not be eligible to take part, but the smiling faces of Bosnian children are clearly seen as vote-winners by politicians in the run-up to the country's October 7 election.

The misuse of minors in political party campaigning is not explicitly outlawed under Bosnian law, but experts say it is a matter of ethics.

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic asked the UN court in The Hague to exclude judge Theodor Meron from his appeal procedure due to alleged bias, after he was removed from Ratko Mladic’s trial.

This is according to the Serb Republic (RS) President Milorad Dodik.

The Russian foreign minister met earlier with the tripartite Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), and on that occasion also made it clear that he is against the demonization of the Serb Republic (RS) - the Serb entity.

The trial of former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Radomir Susnjar, charged with participating in the murder of 57 people in the Visegrad area, starts on Friday before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The US embassy in Bosnia told BIRN on Monday that American sanctions on Milorad Dodik could not be removed easily, despite local media reports that the US would soon lift a travel and property embargo against the Bosnian Serb leader.

Vucic pointed out that there are those in the international environment who would like an agreement to be reached, but also those "who would like less," and that there are examples of this in Serbia, too.

Bosnian Serb war crimes defendants Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic welcomed the UN court’s decision to allow them to make online video calls to their families while in detention.
