Der bosnische Serbenführer Milorad Dodik unterschrieb ein Gesetz – das das Verfassungsgericht wieder aussetzte –, wonach bosnischen Serben bis zu fünf Jahre Gefängnis drohen, wenn sie weiterhin für die Polizei oder die Justiz des Zentralstaates arbeiten. Die EU-Mission EUFOR kündigte daraufhin eine Verstärkung ihrer Kräfte vor Ort an. Auch US-Außenminister Marco Rubio zeigte sich besorgt.

Angesichts der jüngsten Spannungen in Bosnien und Herzegowina hat die EU-Mission EUFOR eine „vorübergehende Verstärkung“ ihrer Kräfte vor Ort angekündigt. Dabei handele es sich um eine „proaktive Maßnahme, die darauf abzielt, Bosnien und Herzegowina im Interesse aller seiner Bürger zu unterstützen“, erklärte die Mission am Freitagabend.

Zur Anzahl der zusätzlichen Kräfte machte die EUFOR zunächst keine Angaben. Zudem kündigte die NATO an, dass Generalsekretär Mark Rutte am Montag die bosnische Hauptstadt Sarajevo besuchen werde.

Rubio: Vorgehen von Serbenführer Dodik bedroht „Sicherheit und Stabilität“ Bosniens

Nach der an bosnische Serben gerichteten Aufforderung des bosnischen Serbenführers Milorad Dodik, die bosnische Polizei und Justiz zu verlassen, hat US-Außenminister Marco Rubio vor einer Destabilisierung der Region gewarnt.

Dodiks Vorgehen gegen die zentralstaatlichen Institutionen von Bosnien und Herzegowina bedrohe die „Sicherheit und Stabilität“ des Landes, erklärte Rubio am Freitag (Ortszeit) im Onlinedienst X.

„Wir rufen unsere Partner in der Region auf, sich uns anzuschließen und gegen dieses gefährliche und destabilisierende Verhalten vorzugehen“, fügte Rubio hinzu.

Dodik unterschrieb Gesetz, das bosnische Polizei in Republika Srpska ablehnt

Das bosnische Verfassungsgericht hatte am Freitag ein vom bosnischen Serbenführer Milorad Dodik unterzeichnetes Gesetz ausgesetzt, das die Autorität der gesamtstaatlichen bosnischen Polizei und der Justiz innerhalb der überwiegend von bosnischen Serben bewohnten Republika Srpska ablehnt.

Mit seiner Unterschrift setzte Dodik am Mittwoch Regelungen in Kraft, wonach bosnischen Serben bis zu fünf Jahre Gefängnis drohen, wenn sie weiterhin für die Polizei oder die Justiz des Zentralstaates arbeiten.

Dodik hatte bosnische Serben am Freitag dazu aufgerufen, ihre Posten in der Polizei und der Justiz zu verlassen und stattdessen den Institutionen der Republika Srpska beizutreten. Ihnen sei ein Arbeitsplatz unter Beibehaltung ihres Dienstgrades, ihrer Position und ihres Gehalts zugesichert worden, sagte Dodik.

Später betonte er, es gebe keine Pläne für eine gewaltsame Eskalation, allerdings habe der von ihm geführte Landesteil „die Fähigkeit sich zu verteidigen, und das werden wir auch tun“.

Dodik bereits zu einem Jahr Haft verurteilt

Der Beschluss des Parlaments der Republika Srpska war eine Reaktion auf ein Gerichtsurteil gegen Dodik, der wegen Missachtung des Hohen Repräsentanten der UNO zu einem Jahr Haft verurteilt worden war.

Die EU-geführte Stabilisierungsmission EUFOR Althea verfügt in Bosnien und Herzegowina über derzeit rund 1500 Soldaten. Seit 2022 beteiligt sich auch die Bundeswehr wieder mit bis zu 50 Soldaten an der Mission, die für Frieden in dem vom Bosnien-Krieg in den frühen 1990er-Jahren stark betroffenen heutigen Staat Bosnien und Herzegowina sorgen soll.

Der bosnisch-muslimische Vertreter der Präsidentschaft von Bosnien und Herzegowina, Denis Becirovic, forderte die Eufor auf, ihre Soldaten „an strategischen Punkten“ im Land einzusetzen.

Bosnien-Herzegowina seit 1995 aufgeteilt

Bosnien-Herzegowina ist seit dem 1995 abgeschlossenen Dayton-Abkommen aufgeteilt in die überwiegend von bosnischen Serben bewohnte Republika Srpska und die kroatisch-muslimische Föderation Bosnien und Herzegowina.

Die beiden halbautonomen Landesteile sind durch eine schwache Zentralregierung miteinander verbunden. Fast ein Drittel der 3,5 Millionen Einwohner Bosniens lebt in der Republika Srpska, deren Gebiet fast die Hälfte des Balkanstaates ausmacht.

Das nun ausgesetzte Gesetz hatte die ohnehin schon angespannte Lage vor Ort weiter verschärft. So teilte die in der Republika Srpska liegende Gedenkstätte Srebrenica mit, sie habe ihre Türen „bis auf Weiteres“ geschlossen. Deren Leitung begründete dies mit der durch die anhaltende politische Krise ausgelösten Unsicherheit.

In der bosnischen Stadt Srebrenica hatten serbische Einheiten im Sommer 1995 rund 8000 muslimische Männer und Jungen ermordet*. Das Massaker gilt als eines der schlimmsten Kriegsverbrechen in Europa seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und wurde vom Internationalen Strafgerichtshof für das ehemalige Jugoslawien (ICTY) und vom Internationalen Gerichtshof (IGH) als Völkermord eingestuft.

US Sanctions Target Dodik Family Network in Bosnia

The U.S. sanctioned on Tuesday two individuals and a network of companies that have been enriching Bosnian Serb nationalist leader Milorad Dodik and his family, saying he has robbed his own people for years while threatening their safety with his constant rhetoric about a secession of the Bosnian Serb controlled part of the country.

The pro-Russian leader has been ruling Republika Srpska (RS) -- the semi-autonomous half of Bosnia and Herzegovina -- for over two decades. While being constantly at odds with the central government in Sarajevo as well as with Western officials, Dodik has maintained close ties with President Vladimir Putin, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić but also with right-wing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

His efforts to undermine the state institutions and strengthen the institutions of the region he governs are seen as efforts to create circumstances for a secession but some say also to generate one political crisis after another in order to divert attention away from his and his children’s business deals.

So far most of the accusations of corruption against him, he and his supporters have interpreted as political persecution because he is defending Republika Srpska from Bosniak and Western efforts to dismantle the political structures of the region while convincing Serbs living there that their only guarantee of physical survival is the existence of their own national state.

Any attack against him, they portray as an attack against the nation.

This time too.

Apart from a vulgar comment Dodik’s daughter made about President Joseph Biden, none of the Dodiks reacted to the new sanctions. However, his political ally and BiH Security Minister Nenad Nešić, pulled the political persecution card again.

"Obviously, we are witnessing the violence of global powers who, without choosing means and methods, want to sanction or, in other words, tame Republika Srpska (RS) and its officials to comply with what is not part of the Constitution,” he said on Wednesday, referring to his perceived Western efforts to erase Serb autonomy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“From here, I want to convey that regardless of what sanctions will be and who will be on them, we will not give up on RS,” said Nešić.

Dodik and his two children have been personally sanctioned by Washington before and Tuesday’s decision is an extension of the measures taken so far against him.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) claims that Dodik has exploited his official position to amass personal wealth, channeling funds through companies connected to both himself and his son Igor.

“[Milorad] Dodik used his official position to direct RS government contracts to a network of private companies that he and Igor oversee,” according to OFAC.

The sanctioned entities include Infinity International Group d.o.o. Banja Luka, a holding company that directly or indirectly oversees several within the network: Prointer ITSS d.o.o. Banja Luka, Clan Infinity International Group, Kaldera Company El PGP d.o.o., Infinity Media d.o.o., K-2 Audio Services Banja Luka d.o.o., and Una World Network d.o.o.

“For example, in 2024, Igor and Milorad Dodik exercised their control over senior BiH government officials to manipulate the draft BiH state budget so that a state-level contract could be awarded to Prointer ITSS d.o.o. Banja Luka Clan Infinity International Group—an entity in the network—outside of the competitive process,” according to the OFAC statement.

Adding to the designated network, Sirius 2010 d.o.o. Banja Luka stands out as a pivotal information technology (IT) player tied to the Dodik family. Alongside Prointer and Kaldera, Sirius has carved a reputation in Bosnia and Herzegovina for clinching significant government contracts. Together, Prointer and Sirius cater to the IT needs of RS and BiH government bodies, while Kaldera takes the lead in engineering projects, according to OFAC.

OFAC alleges that Igor Dodik controls numerous companies in the network, concealing his ties to them through the employment of nominal owners and directors.

Washington also sanctioned Đorđe Đurić, the ultimate owner of Infinity and its subsidiaries, and Milenko Čičić, the general director of Kaldera.

However, OFAC underscored that while Đurić and Čičić hold key positions within the network, it is Igor Dodik who wields ultimate authority over financial decisions for entities such as Prointer and Kaldera, with his approval pivotal for key business choices.

“Đurić and Igor [Dodik] deliberately took steps to obfuscate their involvement in an offshore bank account and entity over which they shared control, probably enabling Igor to move millions of euros overseas,” read the statement.

Additionally, OFAC noted frequent corporate ownership restructuring within the Dodik network, aimed at concealing familial roles and evading sanctions.

The U.S. administration warned that “Dodik not only robs the people of BiH through his corrupt behavior but also threatens their safety and security through his repeated threats to pursue secession of the RS from BiH.”

The 65-year-old nationalist has been threatening to secede Republika Srpska for over a decade. He has been particularly attacking Bosnia and Herzegovina’s judicial system, often claiming it should not have any jurisdiction in his part of the country.

Analysts have explained those attacks with his fear of courts that are not under his control.

“Through his corruption and secessionist rhetoric, Dodik continues to undermine BiH institutions and enrich his family at the people’s expense, further risking BiH’s future in Euro-Atlantic institutions,” read the statement.

Milorad Dodik himself was designated by the U.S. on January 5, 2022, for his involvement in or complicity with violations of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which brokered peace in the Balkan country, halting the 1992-95 war, as well as for corrupt activities. Previously, U.S. authorities sanctioned him in 2017 for violating the 1995 peace agreement.

In October 2023, concerns about RS resembling a Dodik family enterprise rather than a political entity within BiH led the U.S. to sanction Dodik’s children—son Igor and daughter Gorica—along with four companies under their management.

Die Kroatische Justiz und Milorad Dodik: WAR CRIMES AND GENOCIDE:CAN THEODOR MERON PRESERVE ICTY'S REPUTATION?

17.07.2012

WAR CRIMES AND GENOCIDE:CAN THEODOR MERON PRESERVE ICTY'S REPUTATION?

The International Institute for Middle-East and Balkan Studies (IFIMES) in Ljubljana, Slovenia, regularly analyses events in the Middle East and the Balkans. In view of the commemoration of the 17th anniversary of genocide in Srebrenica and the recent partial acquittal of Radovan Karadžić at the halfway stage of his trial, IFIMES has analysed the current situation in relation to war crimes and genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most relevant sections from the analysis entitled “WAR CRIMES AND GENOCIDE: CAN THEODOR MERON PRESERVE ICTY'S REPUTATION?” are published below.
With its Resolution No. 827 of 25 May 1993, the UN Security Council, expressing once again its grave alarm at continuing reports of widespread and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law occurring within the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and especially in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, established the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
The legal basis for the establishment of ICTY was the decision of UN Security Council in which it was stated that the situation in former Yugoslavia constituted a threat to international peace and security. UN Security Council believed that the establishment of an international tribunal and the prosecution of persons responsible for the violations of international humanitarian law would contribute to ensuring that such violations are halted and effectively redressed. With this and other resolutions UN Security Council set a long series of strategic goals for the ICTY. The first goal of ICTY's establishment was already missed at the very beginning. ICTY not only failed to halt further war crimes, but even awaited the genocide in Srebrenica which was committed in July 1995 as the "grand finale" of war atrocities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After the recent partial acquittal of Radovan Karadžić at the halfway stage of his trial according to which he was found not to be responsible for genocide in seven Bosnia and Herzegovina municipalities, it has become obvious that all the goals set by the UN Security Council have collapsed, including all the jurisprudence ICTY has reached since its establishment.
GENOCIDE AS AN ACADEMIC DISCUSSION AND LEGAL FICTION
The issue of genocide in connection with ICTY has become the subject of an academic discussion for most judges at ICTY, ICJ, ICC and other tribunals in the Hague as well as at diplomatic meetings and in private judicial and political circles, which is best illustrated by the statements made by the South Korean Judge O-Gon Kwon who has been presiding in the Radovan Karadžić case. Accusing the Japanese of committing war crimes against the Korean people while stating that nobody was held responsible for those crimes was a surprising statement made by judge O-Gon Kwon, that can be heard from the diplomatic circles discussing genocide and the dissatisfaction of war crimes victims in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Kwon's statements remind of the statement made by Radovan Karadžić when he responded to the establishment of ICTY: "Should this tribunal be established, it will have plenty of work to do, starting with the 2nd World War crimes, first of all against the Serbs ..., and then it will have to deal with the war crimes in Vietnam, Korea, the Cambodian war ...". That is too great coincidence even for an international tribunal!
Judge O-Gon Kwon also participated in the adoption of several other compromising decisions and judgements at ICTY. Still, the mistakes made by certain ICTY judges remained unsanctioned and protected by the UN diplomatic immunity.
Analysts have warned that a system should be introduced to sanction judges and other ICTY staff and that those who make mistakes in their work should be forced to resign and stop working for the Tribunal. This would enable the UN and ICTY to preserve their reputation. Analysts therefore suggest that the best solution would be for the judge O-Gon Kwon to resign from ICTY.
RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THEODOR MERON
The greatest responsibility for the future of ICTY lies with the current President of ICTY and the President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals Theodor Meron, an experienced lawyer and judge, who should examine all the possible implications of the partial acquittal in the Karadžić case as well as a series of other issues that have appeared in the final stage of ICTY's work. On 7 June 2012 President Meron explained the function of the Residual Mechanism (the institution which will replace ICTY and continue its work) to the UN Security Council as follows: "By establishing the Residual Mechanism, the Council has helped to guarantee that the closure of the two pioneering ad hoc tribunals does not open the way for impunity to reign once more".
Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1966(2010) on the establishment of the Residual Mechanism which shall continue certain functions of ICTY after its closure.
The partial acquittal in the Karadžić case has encouraged President of the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik, who succeeded Radovan Karadžić in this function, to continue rejecting the existence of genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The present leaders of Bosnian Serbs headed by Dodik have thus used the partial acquittal to deny the crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, referring the international and Serbian public to the judgement confirmed by Judge O-Gon Kwon and his colleagues.
Analysts have concluded that the responsibility now lies with ICTY President Theodor Meron who has the obligation to protect and preserve the reputation of the Tribunal and to ensure the conditions for its professional functioning. ICTY's reputation now depends on the next steps which its President Meron will take.
CROATIAN STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE PROTECTS MILORAD DODIK?
"Justice is an indispensable ingredient of the process of national reconciliation. It is essential to the restoration of peaceful and normal relations between people who have had to live under a reign of terror. It breaks the cycle of violence, hatred and extra-judicial retribution. Thus Peace and Justice go hand-in-hand," said the late Antonio Cassese, ICTY's first and most eminent President.
However, in case of Karadžić's successor in the function of the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, Cassese's statement has been derogated and devalued. Namely, as a member of the war-time Assembly of Republika Srpska Dodik supported rocket attacks on Zagreb on 2 and 3 May 1995, which is evident from the transcript of the 3rd extraordinary meeting of Republika Srpska National Assembly which was held on 23 and 24 May 1995 and chaired by the war crimes convict Momčilo Krajišnik. The transcript, the authenticity of which was confirmed by the Hague Tribunal, proves that Dodik supported the bombing of Zagreb, which is evident among other from the following statement made publicly at the meeting of the Republika Srpska National Assembly: "Regarding the bombing of Zagreb, I agree that Zagreb should be the target, but that should not be said publicly; if it is to be said, it should have been done in another way, the editor should be discreet in letting that information go out..."
Croatian State Attorney's Office (State Prosecutor) still protects Milorad Dodik although it holds all the relevant facts on the committed war crimes in Zagreb. This justifiably points to the question why the chief State Attorney of the Republic of Croatia Mladen Bajić has not brought charges against Milorad Dodik for the war crimes committed in Zagreb?
As long as it has to deal with persons such as Dodik and the like, Bosnia and Herzegovina can not expect international reconciliation, restoration of normal relations and its future in the community of European nations. Political leaders who are ready to use any opportunity to deny war crimes and genocide in Srebrenica and other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina now have their ally - Judge O-Gon Kwon and some of his colleagues.

Droht eine Spaltung in Bosnien: Das Parlament der Republika Srpska fasst Entscheidung über ein Referendum

Das Parlament der Republika Srpska fasst Entscheidung über ein Referendum Drucken
14.04.11
 Das Parlament der Republika Srpska hat die Entscheidung über die Ausschreibung eines Referendums angenommen, bei welchem sich die Bürger dieser Entität Bosnien und Herzegowinas darüber äußern werden, ob sie die Gesetze unterstützen, welche die Hohen Repräsentanten der internationalen Gemeinschaft in diesem Land eingeführt haben – vor allem die Gesetze über Gerichte und die Staatsanwalt. Das Referendum muss eine Woche nach Ablauf von 45 Tagen nach der Veröffentlichung der Entscheidung im Amtsblatt der RS abgehalten werden. Die Entscheidung wurde von 66 Abgeordneten unterstützt, zwei waren dagegen und sieben waren enthalten. Zuvor hat der Präsident der Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, in einer Ansprache vor den Abgeordneten erklärt, dass diese beiden Institutionen durch den Hohen Repräsentanten aufgezwungen wurden, was gegen das Daytonabkommen und die grundlegenden Interessen der Republika Srpska verstößt. „Das wurde auf Forderung der bosniakischen Politiker gemacht, mit dem Ziel, durch indirekte Mechanismen das Land zu zentralisieren“, sagte Dodik und fügte hinzu, dass die Gerichte und die Staatsanwaltschaft Bosnien und Herzegowinas Fälle von Kriegsverbrechen selektiv bearbeiten, zum Schaden des serbischen Volkes.
