Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina Rejects Appeal; Dodik States He Was Elected by the People and Will Not Respect Decision

As a result, Dodik is officially no longer in office, and the CEC is obliged to call early elections for the presidency of the entity.

It should be recalled that the CEC had previously adopted the decision on the termination of his mandate, but it could only enter into effect upon confirmation by the Appellate Division of the Court of BiH.

Reacting to the rejection of his appeal, Dodik declared that he had been elected by the people and would not be dismissed by a foreign-imposed government.

"They did not respect the Constitution of BiH, they did not respect the Constitution of Republika Srpska, they did not respect the law, and I am supposed to respect their disrespect of everything. I will not respect it. I will respect the will of the Serb people," he said.

It should also be noted that the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued a final judgment sentencing Dodik to one year in prison and imposing a six-year ban on holding the office of President of Republika Srpska for failure to implement the decisions of the High Representative in BiH.
