Dodik and the former acting director of Republika Srpska’s Official Gazette, Miloš Lukić, face charges of defying the decisions of High Representative Christian Schmidt, the international envoy overseeing the peace accords that concluded Bosnia’s 1992-5 war.
At least there are people showing signs of sanity.
However, opposition members from the Party of Democratic Progress, PDP, and the Serbian National Alliance, SNS, refused to participate, after which Dodik’s Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, SNSD, accused them of siding with Schmidt.
Members of the Republika Srpska veterans’ union have also refused to join Dodik’s rally, noting that, “there never has been, there is not, nor will there ever be, an individual whose fate can be tied to the fate of Republika Srpska”.
