Dodik hearing postponed: Judge asks for separation of proceedings

A court hearing for the case against the President of Republika Srpska (RS) entity Milorad Dodik and acting the director of the RS Official Gazette, Milos Lukic, was postponed once more. Lukic did not appear at the hearing due to health reasons, thus the judge of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina Mirsad Strika suggested that the proceedings in this case be separated, that is, that Dodik and Lukic be tried separately. This proposal was met with strong reactions from Milorad Dodik's defence team, which already had a file ready with a request for the disqualification of Judge Strike, as well as seven other judges.
