The warrant means that any police officer who encounters the president of the country’s Serb-majority entity of the Republika Srpska must arrest him immediately.

Bosnia’s state-level prosecutors issued arrest warrants for the entity of the Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and two other officials, accusing them of anti-constitutional conduct.
Dodik, who serves as the president of the Western Balkan country’s Serb-majority entity of the RS, has the right to appeal Wednesday’s verdict.
If Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska, is convicted to a prison sentence by a Sarajevo federal court, the Serbian autonomous entity could find itself further distanced from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
