The Czech Republic is deploying 150 paratroopers to Bosnia and Herzegovina amid rising tensions in the country, according to Radio Prague.
The troops are set to arrive later this week and will remain for a month, joining Romanian and Italian forces also expected to arrive this week. They will reinforce the EUFOR mission, which is responsible for ensuring compliance with the 1995 Dayton peace agreement that ended nearly four years of conflict.
Milorad Dodik, president of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Serb-majority entity, Republika Srpska, recently introduced new laws that banned the operation of security and judicial institutions within the entity. However, these laws were suspended by the top court.
The legislation followed a court ruling in Sarajevo, which sentenced Dodik to one year in prison and banned him from holding office for six years for not complying with decisions made by the international high representative overseeing Bosnia’s peace agreements.
On Wednesday, state prosecutors ordered Dodik’s detention for "threatening the constitutional order," and arrest warrants were issued for Republika Srpska’s Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic and National Assembly President Nenad Stevandic.
In response to the warrants, Dodik stated that he would meet with Russian officials to request that they veto the extension of the European Union Force Operation Althea in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, expressed concern that the arrest warrants for the Republika Srpska leadership could destabilise the region.
