The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the indictment against the President of the Republika Srpska (RS) entity Milorad Dodik and acting director of "RS Official Gazette" Milos Lukic, N1 learned Monday.

Dodik and Lukic are charged with the criminal offence of failure to execute the decisions of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The BiH Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment against Dodik and Lukic on August 11 and sent it to the BiH Court for confirmation, but on August 18 the Court sent it back for adjustment and amendment.

The indictment followed after the National Assembly of the RS adopted two disputed laws on June 27, which Dodik signed according to the regular legislative procedure, and published in the RS Official Gazette.

These are laws stating that the Office of the High Representative (OHR) decisions will no longer be published in this publication, and thus will not be implemented in that BiH entity, and that decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina will no longer be enforced in the RS.

The High Representative in BiH, Christian Schmidt, annulled both laws with his decisions of July 1.
