Sinisa Karan, the president of the commission established by Republika Srpska to organize last Sunday’s referendum, has criticized the BiH Prosecutor’s decision to issue a summons to RS President Milorad Dodik for questioning.
According to Karan, the summons should have been sent either to the RS National Assembly, that decided to call the referendum, or to the Republic Commission – but not to Dodik.
He told the entity’s public broadcaster RTRS that Dodik was “absent from the process, as it is more about him providing his political support to the process.”
“And not just him, but absolutely everyone in the Serb Republic. On this basis, everyone could be summoned, if it has been sent at all,” Karan said.
Since issuing the summons to President Dodik, Chief Prosecutor Goran Salihovic has been suspended from his position by the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council; he faces disciplinary proceedings related to other matters.
