Overview
- The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina dismissed as inadmissible Milorad Dodik’s appeals against two State Court rulings and the Central Election Commission’s 6 August decision.
- The court held its session online without participation from two judges from Republika Srpska, according to the court’s announcement.
- Bosnia’s Prosecutor’s Office decided on 30 October to close the “attack on the constitutional order” investigation into Dodik, Radovan Višković and Nenad Stevandić for lack of evidence, with the outcome reported on 4 November.
- The Central Election Commission’s revocation of Dodik’s mandate remains in force, with early Republika Srpska presidential elections scheduled for 23 November.
- A separate State Court conviction for failing to comply with decisions of the High Representative still stands after the court allowed the one-year prison term to be converted to a fine, and Dodik criticized the latest ruling as political, saying he may turn to the European Court.
