The president of Bosnia and Herzegovina's autonomous Republika Srpska,
Milorad Dodik, was questioned on Friday for holding a referendum in
violation of a ruling of the country's Constitutional Court, the Bosnian
prosecutor’s office said on Friday.
BELGRADE (Sputnik) – Dodik is accused of organizing a referendum on
celebrating the Republika Srpska Day, which violated the Constitutional
Court’s decision that banned the vote.
"Suspect Dodik is under investigation over links to criminal
non-compliance with the decision of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia
and Herzegovina," Boris Grubesic, press secretary of the Bosnian
prosecutor’s office, said.

Republika Srpska - ‘The Pyramid of Western Politics is Tumbling Down’
Republika Srpska is one of the two autonomous entities of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, while the other is the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Their relations are largely affected by the civil war among
Serbs, Bosnian Muslims and Croatians in 1992-1995.
Republika Srpska does not agree to celebrate the national day of Bosnia
and Herzegovina on March 1, for on that day in 1992 the Bosnian
parliament proclaimed the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina without
the presence of Bosnian Serbs.
