Bosnia’s Serb Republic appoints interim president after Dodik barred from office; election pending Nov. 23.
Bosnia’s Serb Republic will appoint an interim president after Milorad Dodik was barred from politics for six years following a court conviction for defying an international envoy.
The parliament will vote Saturday on a temporary leader to serve until November 23 elections.
Dodik, a pro-Russian nationalist, continues to appeal the ruling and had kept performing duties despite the ban.
The need for an interim president is unclear, as two vice-presidents are legally in place to assume the role.
Speculation about Zeljka Cvijanovic as a candidate is likely unconstitutional, potentially paralyzing the state presidency.
Dodik has nominated his party’s minister, Sinisa Karan, as his party’s election candidate.
The Serb Republic is one of two entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, created by the 1995 Dayton Accords.
La República Serbia de Bosnia nombra presidente interino después de que Dodik fuera excluido del cargo; las elecciones están pendientes el 23 de noviembre.
