Bosnian Serb leader Dodik vows to defy political ban, write to Trump

SARAJEVO: The separatist president of the Serb part of Bosnia vowed to defy a court ruling banning him from political office for six years on Friday and said he would seek help from both Russia and US President Donald Trump. Milorad Dodik was responding to a ruling by Bosnia’s appeals court upholding a sentence handed down to him for defying the orders of the international peace envoy, whose role is to prevent multi-ethnic Bosnia sliding back into civil war. Dodik told reporters he would continue to go to work. “I do not accept the verdict,” he told reporters.
