Bosnian Serb lawmakers on Thursday passed a set of laws barring central Bosnian judiciary and police from their entity in Bosnia, sending tensions soaring in the troubled Balkan country after a court convicted the pro-Russia Bosnian Serb president and banned him from politics.
Milorad Dodik, the president of the Serb-dominated half of Bosnia called Republika Srpska, was sentenced on Wednesday to a year in prison and was banned from engaging in politics for six years for disobeying orders from the top international official in Bosnia.
