Italian lawyer Angelo Tartaglia said on Tuesday in Banja Luka he will be involved in the proceedings of filing lawsuits before European courts against the High Representative in BiH, as well as against certain members of the Peace Implementation Council in BiH, including the representatives of Italy in that body due to “abuse" of official position and “support of illegal acts."

Tartaglia said that “the objective thing is that the President of Republika Srpska (RS) entity Milorad Dodik is an excellent person and President, and that is why he decided to defend him.”

“On the other hand, everything Schmidt does, he does illegally,” Tartaglia said at a press conference after a meeting with the RS National Assembly Speaker Nenad Stevandic, Deputy RS Prime Ministers Milos Bukejlovic and Alen Seranic, and lawyer Srdjan Aleksic.
