BIRN BiH investigated the operations of the Republika Srpska branch, its members and their political connections.

This has been stated by the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Milorad Dodik.

Dodik also said that peace must be preserved, while people must be given the opportunity to decide.

Dodik, the chairman of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency, also assessed that Putin's visit to Serbia on Thursday will be "a clear symbol and message of peace, friendship and support for Serbia and the Serb people as a whole."

The chairman of the BiH Presidency and former RS president also said that he expects RS officials in the BiH Council of Ministers to remain committed to this policy.

Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, has set up a new council to monitor threats to the entity's constitution and jurisdiction.

The hardline leader of the Bosnian Serbs, Milorad Dodik, has called on Serbs who are living in the US to vote for candidates who are supported by President Donald Trump at the mid-term elections on Tuesday.

The US will remain steadfast in support of Bosnia's territorial integrity and will continue to try to keep the country moving forward, Eric George Nelson, the new ambassador to Bosnia, said on Thursday during a hearing before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Republika Srpska leader Milorad Dodik is going to Russia on Sunday, where he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the resort of Sochi, where the Russian Grand Prix is taking place.

Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik, who is standing as a candidate for the Serbian seat on Bosnia's state presidency in the October 7 elections, has said he will stop "the interference of foreigners" in the affairs of the country if he wins the elections.
