At the beginning of March, Vsquare published information according to which the Hungarian anti -terrorists located in Banja Luce were prepared for the possible evacuation of the President of the Republic of Serbian (the autonomous part of Bosnia and Herzegovina) Milorad Dodik after the judgment of the court of first instance in Sarajevo condemning him in a year in prison.
“The US knew from the beginning what Hungary was preparing for”
Dodik, together with the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucz, visited Orban in Budapest before the expected announcement of the court's decision. After the visit, the elite unit of the Hungarian police (Tek), headed by the former head of security and trusted collaborator of Orban, Janos Hajdu, came to the Serbian Republic with a plan to allow Dodik to escape through Croatia to Hungary – Hungarian media discovered.
The court in Sarajevo sentenced Dodik to a year in prison and six years of a ban on performing public functions for hindering the implementation of the decision of a high representative of the international community in BiH, Christian Schmidt, who is responsible for the supervision of the implementation of the provisions of the peace system from Dayton ending the war in the 1990s.
“The Plan leaked. The United States knew from the beginning what TAK was preparing for and notified Croatia,” wrote Panya on Monday, citing EU officials. “Croatian services were seriously prepared for this scenario and were ready to arrest Dodika and TEK officers,” he added.
“It would be a serious escalation that could have caused a conflict with completely unpredictable consequences,” admitted one of the European officials in an interview with a journalist. “Hungary played with fire. When I asked the Hungarian official how angry Americans were, he replied that” very “” – summed up Pynya.
Bosnia and Herzegovina asks for help from the EU
After the judgment of the court in Sarajevo, the Parliament of the Serbian Republic voted a number of laws prohibiting actions on its territory of several BiH central institutions, including courts, prosecutor's office and federal police. After the documents signed by Dodik, the BiH Constitutional Tribunal suspended their validity on March 7 until the final decision was made.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Elmedin Konaković appealed to the European Union on Sunday for the help of EUFOR's EU peace mission in Dodik's detention, behind which a nationwide arrest warrant was issued in March.
