Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, once favored by the West, is now facing an international arrest warrant after being sentenced to jail for defying an international peace envoy. Moscow has strongly defended Dodik, calling the charges politically motivated. In response, Dodik has taken steps to further isolate the Serb region of Bosnia from state authorities, escalating tensions. His growing alignment with Russia and separatist rhetoric have raised concerns about stability in the region. The situation highlights increasing geopolitical divisions in the Balkans.

SARAJEVO (Reuters) - When a court sentenced Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to jail last month for defying the order of an international peace envoy, Moscow rushed to his defence, publicly calling the move "unacceptable" and "politically motivated". Buoyed by the support, Dodik barred the state's authorities from the Serb region of Bosnia.
