In 2023, Dodik pushed legislation aimed at blocking the enforcement of state-level Constitutional Court rulings and amending entity-level laws. The move was promptly blocked by Christian Schmidt, the international peace envoy and head of the Office of the High Representative (OHR).
A domestic arrest warrant was issued first, but Bosnian authorities held off on detaining Dodik, wary of the potential for political escalation in the fragile Balkan nation. That changed last week, when it became clear Dodik planned to leave the country — prompting officials to formally request an Interpol red notice for his international arrest.
Dodik’s influence has loomed large as the most prominent Bosnian Serb politician in a country that continues to be deeply divided along ethnic lines, more than 30 years since one of the bloodiest conflicts in Europe since World War II.
There’s a long-standing precedent of disgraced Balkan figures fleeing to Moscow to avoid jail time — among them, Serbian wartime President Slobodan Milošević’s wife Mira Marković, who was granted asylum in Russia in 2003 along with her children, and former Yugoslav Defense Minister Veljko Kadijević, who escaped to Moscow in 2001 to avoid possible a war crimes summons from The Hague.
Russia frequently disregards Interpol warrants and extradition requests when it deems them politically convenient.
Dodik left Bosnia last week to go to Belgrade, from where he flew to Jerusalem to attend a conference on antisemitism organized by the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
