Bosnian Serb Leader Ousted After Jail Sentence | JQJO

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik has been stripped of his presidential position following an appeals court verdict sentencing him to a year in prison and a six-year ban from politics. Dodik, known for his pro-Russia stance and separatist threats, plans to appeal. The Central Electoral Commission will hold an early election within 90 days. His actions have stalled Bosnia's EU membership bid and raised concerns about renewed conflict, given his past efforts to secede and join Serbia. International support for the verdict is strong, with the EU urging respect for the ruling.
