Overview
- On 4 November, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina dismissed Milorad Dodik’s appeals against State Court rulings and the Central Election Commission’s 6 August decision to revoke his mandate.
- The court met online in an incomplete composition without two judges from Republika Srpska, a point Dodik cited in alleging political bias.
- The Prosecutor’s Office separately discontinued on 30 October an investigation into an alleged attack on the constitutional order involving Dodik and two others, a move that does not affect his prior conviction or the CIK action.
- Early presidential elections in Republika Srpska remain scheduled for 23 November, with Ana Trišić-Babić serving as acting president.
- Dodik denounced the ruling as political and signaled further legal steps, while his SNSD has put forward Siniša Karan for the election and RS figures are advocating a referendum to challenge state and OHR-related decisions.
