BELGRADE - Serbia and Republika Srpska (RS) will on August 4 together commemorate the anniversary of the 1995 expulsion of Serbs from the then Srpska Krajina and Croatia, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Thursday.

RS President Milorad Dodik said in Belgrade on Tuesday that the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina "has never been in greater danger of disappearing."

The post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina has two entities - the Serb Republic (Republika Srpska; RS), and the Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (FBiH).

BANJALUKA - Republika Srpska (RS) is a state, and it is capable of defending itself by democratic means, RS President Milorad Dodik said in Banjaluka at Saturday's pro-government rally titled "With our hearts for Srpska - Stop the treason."

BANJA LUKA - Tensions over the possibility of riots in the streets of Banja Luka, Republika Srpska (RS), during two rival protests, one called by the opposition and the other by the ruling party, on Saturday, are mounting, and the police announced securing the events with at least 2,000 police officers.

RS President Milorad Dodik has sent a letter to the UN secretary-general presenting his accusations against the judicial institutions of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The letter was sent along with the Serb Republic's report to the UN Security Council - in which the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina gives its view of the situation in the RS and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Milorad Dodik's endorsement of nationalist candidate Norbert Hofer ahead of the second round of voting may not a major impact in changing the voting preferences of Serbs in Austria, Vienna-based analyst Christoph Hofinger from the SORA Institute told BIRN. 

The plan to hold the referendum in Bosnia's Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity - widely criticised as potentially divisive - appeared to be in disarray after only representatives of the ruling coalition turned up for a meeting on the issue called by President Milorad Dodik on Friday.

The chief prosecutor of Bosnia-Herzegovina has confirmed that his office is investigating RS President Milorad Dodik in connection with the Pavlovic Bank.

"The investigation is conducted within the 'Pavloviv Bank' (case). Three or four investigations against Dodik have been closed," Goran Salihovic has told the Sarajevo-based daily Oslobodjenje.
