Milorad

BELGRADE - The head of Republika Srpska has rejected a summons by state prosecutors, saying he would not travel to Sarajevo for questioning after he defied a high-court ruling by holding a controversial referendum.

Republika Srpska's President Milorad Dodik was summoned after Bosnian Serbs on September 25 voted overwhelmingly to maintain a "statehood day" holiday on January 9.

RS President Milorad Dodik said on Tuesday afternoon that was yet to receive the Bosnian prosecution's announced summons for questioning.

The latest testimonies confirm the indictment against the perpetrators of the murder of Slavko Curuvija, says Veran Matic

Sunday's referendum in the RS "threatens to strengthen the confrontation between the international community and RS President Milorad Dodik."

Milorad Ulemek, alias Legija, the former special police commander convicted of PM Zoran Djindjic’s assassination, made his first appearance as a witness in the trial of four state security officers for an opposition journalist’s murder.

Serb Republic (Republika Srpska, RS) President Milorad Dodik has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's Kremlin.

The two leaders spoke about economic cooperation, security situation in the Balkans and the fight against terrorism, as well as the upcoming RS Day referendum, and local elections.

As much as it is looking ahead, Serbia has no reason to be ashamed when it looks behind, President Tomislav Nikolic has said.

According to his press service, he made the statement on Thursday in Thessaloniki after honoring the fallen Serbian soldiers buried at the Allied military cemetery Zeitenlik. Nikolic was accompanied by RS President Milorad Dodik.

BELGRADE - President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik on Monday dismissed speculations that Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic has tried to convince him to abandon the idea of holding a referendum on Republika Srpska Day, pointing out that the Serbian PM has never pressured him over it.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic on Tuesday held a meeting on Tuesday with the president of the Serb National Council in Croatia, Milorad Pupovac.

They "demonstrated a high degree of agreement on the need for renewed cooperation and dialogue between the two countries," the government said in a statement carried by Tanjug.

Confirmation that Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska and leader of the ruling Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, SNSD, is being investigated in connection with a failed bank will have an impact on the local elections due in October, experts say.
