Overview

• Germany and Austria have imposed travel bans on Milorad Dodik, Nenad Stevandic, and Radovan Viskovic for undermining Bosnia's constitutional integrity.
• Dodik, facing an international arrest warrant issued by the Bosnian State Court, remains in Moscow, evading extradition efforts.
• Interpol declined to issue a Red Notice for Dodik's arrest, reportedly due to intervention by Serbia, complicating enforcement of the warrant.
• Dodik's unilateral actions to sever Republika Srpska's judiciary and police from Bosnia's central government have heightened regional instability.
• The crisis threatens Bosnia's EU accession process, with international actors urging de-escalation to prevent further destabilization.
