Milorad Dodik, the president of Bosnia's Republika Srpska entity, and Zeljka Cvijanovic, the Serb member of Bosnia's tripartite Presidency and its current chairperson, will join the world leaders in the inauguration of President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan taking place in Ankara on Saturday.

Turkish daily Hurriyet reported that 20 leaders and about 45 foreign ministers will attend the ceremony. It was also said that the Balkan states as well as Somalia and Algeria will be represented by presidents, while other countries will send their prime ministers and heads of diplomacy.

Erdogan won the Turkish election last weekend, extending rule to the third decade.
