BiH Court lifts detention for Serb leaders

Jul 10, 2025

Sarajevo [Bosnia and Herzegovina], July 10: The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has lifted detention measures for Radovan Viskovic, prime minister of Republika Srpska (RS) of BiH, and Nenad Stevandic, president of the RS National Assembly, replacing them with precautionary reporting obligations, the Court announced Wednesday.
Under the new measures, Stevandic and Viskovic must report every 14 days at the local police stations. The Court will review the enforcement of these measures bi-monthly.
The Court had also lifted the detention of RS President Milorad Dodik on July 4, after he gave a statement to prosecutors. At the same time, a measure was imposed requiring Dodik to report periodically to a designated state authority.
Goran Bubic, attorney for the RS leaders, said their voluntary cooperation removed the legal grounds for continued detention. He accepted the reporting measures and waived any right to appeal.
All three had previously been detained for failing to respond to summonses in a case concerning alleged attempts to undermine BiH's constitutional order.
BiH is made up of two autonomous entities, the RS, with a predominately Serbian population, and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with mostly Bosniaks and Croats. The two entities have coexisted under a weak central government.
