Bosnian Serb leader Dodik defies arrest order

For alleged flouting of the country's constitution

(ANSA-AFP) - SARAJEVO, MAR 13 - Bosnia's prosecutors on Wednesday ordered federal police to bring in ethnic Serb leader Milorad Dodik for questioning as part of an investigation into his alleged flouting of the country's constitution. Tensions have soared in the divided Balkan country since Dodik was convicted last month for defying Christian Schmidt, the international envoy charged with overseeing the peace accords that ended Bosnia's 1990s war. Dodik, who leads Bosnia's Republika Srpska (RS) statelet, remains unrepentant after the conviction, and helped push through laws forbidding the federal police and judiciary from entering Bosnia's Serb entity in retaliation. The laws were later struck down by the constitutional court. Last week, he ignored a summons from Bosnia's chief prosecutor for allegedly trying to undermine the constitution. He further raised tensions by calling on ethnic Serbs last Friday to quit the federal police force and courts and join the RS government instead. Federal police "received a request for assistance" to execute the orders of the prosecutor's office to bring in Dodik for questioning, Jelena Miovcic, a spokesperson for the police force, told AFP on Wednesday. The prosecutors also called for the RS's prime minister and parliamentary speaker to be brought in for questioning. An AFP reporter saw RS police armed with automatic weapons outside Dodik's presidential palace in the statelet's capital of Banja Luka. Dodik, speaking to media outside the palace alongside the two other wanted men, said he had no intention of being arrested. He urged federal police to "not act" and said: "I trust the Republika Srpska police." He added: "We did not want such an escalation," and framed his defiance as "not the defence of some individual, but the defence of our republic". (ANSA-AFP).
