The opposition in Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity announced another mass protest, demanding action from judicial institutions over alleged election fraud and objective reporting from the RS public broadcaster, RTRS.
Opposition candidate Jelena Trivic, who lost the election for RS president to Milorad Dodik, said the protest will take place on Wednesday in front of the RTRS building.

She said that there is a vast amount of evidence proving election fraud but that not one of the cases reported is being resolved in court.
“Our request is an appeal to the CEC and the Appellate Council of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as our demands from previous gatherings – for the judiciary to work and the prosecute those who participated in vote rigging,” Trivic said.
“We will not stop here,” she said.
The opposition is also demanding “objective reporting” from the RTRS, instead of targeting those who “think differently from the regime,” she said.
“We have not labelled anyone from RTRS, by name and surname, although we know who the people who are the creators of fake news are. These are not all RTRS employees and journalists, but a part of the people we know are,” she said.
Trivic then gave the example of controversial news reports regarding unproven claims that the United States provided 10 million US Dollars for her campaign.
“Who created fake news out of 10 alleged US millions? RTRS finds out from some fake portal and labels me and my family and all these people on various grounds,” she said, arguing that those RTRS employees involved in the matter get their instructions from Dodik’s Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD).
PDP leader, Branislav Borenovic, commented on the CEC's decision to declare Milorad Dodik the winner.
“We sent 300 or so pages of various pieces of evidence that were compiled with lawyers,” he said, arguing that the judiciary can not ignore this evidence proving that the “criminal and corrupt” election for the post of RS president and RS vice president should be annulled and repeated.
