Radovan Kovačević, a delegate of the Serb People’s Club in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has strongly criticized the country’s judicial institutions, calling them “extraconstitutional” and accusing them of being misused for political persecution.

In a statement shared on the social media platform X, Kovačević reacted to what he described as a confirmation from Interpol that judicial mechanisms in Bosnia-Herzegovina had been exploited to target Milorad Dodik, the current President of Republika Srpska.

“At the very moment when we received direct confirmation from the world’s most important international organization, Interpol, that the extraconstitutional judicial institutions of Bosnia-Herzegovina were being abused for the political persecution of Milorad Dodik, they came up with the brilliant idea, after 18 years, to try and criminalize the purchase of a private house,” Kovačević wrote.

He went on to mock the legitimacy of the judiciary’s actions, adding: “Not even a small child would believe in such ‘objectivity.'”

Kovačević’s remarks come amid rising political tension and ongoing disputes between the country’s ethnic and political factions. His statement underscores persistent concerns over the impartiality of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s judicial system, especially in cases involving high-profile political figures.

The accusation that Dodik is being targeted for political reasons adds fuel to an already heated debate about the independence and constitutionality of national institutions in post-Dayton Bosnia-Herzegovina.

It remains to be seen whether the judiciary or Interpol will respond with further clarification or disclosure regarding the alleged misuse of legal mechanisms. In the meantime, Kovačević’s message has reignited discussions about the rule of law, national sovereignty, and institutional trust in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
