The Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia-Herzegovina has begun legal action seeking to prevent Milorad Dodik, the president of Republic of Srpska (RS), from performing his presidential duties and holding any public office. The move comes as part of a criminal indictment regarding Dodik's involvement in the controversial adoption of two laws by the RS National Assembly that challenge the authority of the international community's High Representative and the Constitutional Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Dodik claims actions taken against him are "politically motivated." The case would be heard in the country's highest criminal court, the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
