Overview

• German State Minister Anna Lührmann reported threats of violence from representatives of Milorad Dodik during her visit to Republika Srpska's capital, Banja Luka.
• Lührmann was declared persona non grata by Republika Srpska's government and was escorted out of the territory under police protection.
• Germany and Austria recently imposed entry bans on Dodik, Republika Srpska's Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic, and Speaker Nenad Stevandic for undermining Bosnia's constitutional integrity.
• Milorad Dodik remains in Moscow, evading an international arrest warrant issued by Bosnia's State Court for his secessionist actions and defiance of central authority.
• Interpol has declined to issue a Red Notice for Dodik's arrest, reportedly due to intervention by Serbia, complicating enforcement efforts.
