The Steering Committee of the BH Journalists Association called for a boycott of reporting on the activities of BiH tripartite Presidency member, Milorad Dodik, until he publicly apologises for his “shameful behaviour towards journalists” on Tuesday.
As Dodik was leaving the Prosecutor’s Office where he was questioned about an ongoing case on Tuesday, he presented his middle finger from an official vehicle.

“With this gesture, Milorad Dodik once again demonstrated the behaviour completely inappropriate and unworthy of a high-ranking political official. In addition to insulting and humiliating media representatives, who today only did their job in front of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH, with such vulgar behaviour Dodik irreversibly destroys not only his own reputation, but also the reputation of the state that he represents as a politician and member of the BiH Presidency,” the BH Journalists association said.
The association also said that Dodik’s “explanation” at a press conference that his gesture referred only to certain media outlets who spread lies about him “can in no way be justification for his actions!”
“If he believes that certain media and journalists are telling lies and slanders about him, Milorad Dodik has mechanisms at his disposal, such as denials and the Law on Protection against Defamation, through which he can call those media to professional responsibility,” the association said.
