The RS should vote on the work of the Court and the Prosecution of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"I have no dilemma about that, regardless of the efforts invested by a part of the international community," Dodik stressed in Banja Luka, adding that the RS "will fight against the legal violence of the high representative, and in favor of the Dayton Agreement," reported the FENA agency.

Dodik also said he was "not afraid of political traitors instructed by the international community, who are spreading fear of the referendum."

"The referendum is important. Unless we stand up and take up a position of defense with it, in a year or two the Serb Republic will become an empty tourist attraction," he has been quoted as saying.

Russian Ambassador to Bosnia Petr Ivantsov said after meeting with Dodik today that his country will continue to support the RS in those decisions that remain within the framework of the principles set out by the Dayton peace agreement.

Ivantsov added that the RS has a right to find those solutions that it considers good.

"I hope we will be looking for the final decision together and that we will try to resolve it and decide on it through dialogue," he said.
