In yet another unconstitutional move, the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, announced the creation of an RS border police force. Earlier today, Bosnian courts issued a central arrest warrant for him, requiring any law enforcement officer, regardless of their unit, to arrest him on sight. This development is seen as another step tightening the noose around Dodik, signaling his impending arrest.

Centralna potjernica za Dodikom, Viškovićem i Stevandićem je raspisana: Ko ih vidi, mora ih uhapsiti Svaki policajac u Bosni i Hercegovini koji uoči Milorada Dodika, predsjednika entiteta Republika Srpska (RS), Radovana Viškovića, premijera i Nenada Stevandića,...

The recent developments in Republika Srpska, where Milorad Dodik enacted unconstitutional laws prohibiting the operation of state institutions, have a profound and distressing impact on the Bosnian-American community in St. Louis, particularly those with family members still living in Bosnia and Herzegovina. St. Louis is home to one of the largest Bosnian communities in the United States, many of whom fled during the 1992-1995 war and experienced ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and war crimes. This political crisis rekindles past traumas and triggers fear for the safety and stability of their loved ones still residing in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially as Dodik's actions create uncertainty and increase the risk of renewed conflict. Many within the constituency worry that these moves are a direct attack on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, reminiscent of pre-war tactics in the 1990s that led to violence and suffering.
For many Bosnian Americans in St. Louis, this situation is not just a distant political issue; it is a direct threat to their families, their heritage, and their sense of security. The risk of escalating tensions, the undermining of state institutions, and the potential for armed conflict place Bosnian Americans in a state of distress fearing that history may repeat itself. Their calls for international intervention and support from their elected representatives, including members of Congress, are urgent. They seek strong diplomatic responses to prevent further destabilization, ensure the protection of Bosnia’s constitutional order, and hold those accountable who are actively dismantling state institutions. For the St. Louis Bosnian community, the consequences of these actions are deeply personal, reinforcing a painful history of war and displacement while threatening the future stability of their homeland and their families still living there.

Hungary's TEK special forces are reportedly involved in Bosnia, raising regional security and international relations concerns. Learn more about the implications of Orbán’s support for Dodik in this detailed report:

Orbán’s Covert Bosnia Operation: Special Forces Stood Ready to Extract Dodik - VSquare.org After a Budapest meeting between Viktor Orbán, Aleksandar Vučić, and Milorad Dodik, Orbán’s chief bodyguard was tasked with deploying a large contingent of counter-terrorism police to Banja Luka in case they needed to help Dodik escape arrest by a Bosnian court, a VSquare investigation has fou...

A clear and direct message from the United States of America to those who are usurping institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On February 27, 2025, the National Assembly of Republika Srpska (NSRS) adopted laws prohibiting the operations of key Bosnian state institutions—including the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (VSTV), the Court and Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA)—within its territory. This legislative move, which passed with 49 votes in favor and three against, directly challenges the constitutional framework of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Notably, these laws were enacted shortly after the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced RS President Milorad Dodik, intensifying the political climate. Bosnian media outlets have labeled this action a “coup,” highlighting the severe implications for the nation’s legal and political stability. 

Državni udar: NSRS usvojila zakone kojima se zabranjuje djelovanje VSTV-a, Suda i Tužilaštva BiH i SIPA-e u RS-u Na današnjoj hitnoj sjednici Narodne skupštine Republike Srpske usvojeni su prijedlozi zakona koji se odnose na neprimjenjivanje zakonodavstva Bosne i Hercegovi...
