While the court Of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued an order to issue an international warrant for the president of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, He is reporting from Russia.
"I have arrived in Moscow. I start every stay here with a visit to the monument to the Unknown Hero, to pay my respects to the 28 million Russians who died in the Second World War," Dodik wrote on the X social network.
The President of Republika Srpska did not state the reason for his arrival in Moscow, nor with whom he will meet. However, it seems that he does not plan to stay long, like Bogoljub Karić or Mira Marković, who fled to Russia from prison.
He added that he will return to Russia again on May 9 at the invitation of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism.
While Dodik, who is on the list of sanctioned persons of the USA, is also planning his next spring trips, international law experts are commenting on what would happen if an Interpol warrant was issued for the president of Republika Srpska, and he was found in Serbia.
His extradition to Bosnia and Herzegovina would be decided by the court according to the European Convention on Extradition and the Law on International Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, which, among other things, implies that the court would have to examine whether the conditions required by the extradition request have been met. Vanja Bajović, associate professor at the Faculty of Law, told Vreme.
