Vulin called Dodik's sentence revenge and an attempt to destroy the world.

The verdict of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo to the President of Republika Srpska (RS, Entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH) Milorad Dodik is not a fair court decision, but revenge. On February 27, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Vulin told reporters after a lecture at the Russian State University.

"I am very concerned about the events in Republika Srpska. This is a direct intervention and an attempt to destroy the world.… This is not a condemnation of Milorad Dodik, this is revenge," Vulin said, his words are transmitted by RIA Novosti.

According to him, Serbia will support the citizens of the RS and do everything to preserve peace on its territory.

BiH Court on February 26 He sentenced Dodik in absentia to a year in prison and a six-year ban on political activity. This decision can be appealed.

The Serbian publication Vreme reported on the same day that in June 2023, Dodik signed a decree according to which the decisions of the Constitutional Court of BiH were considered invalid on the territory of the Republika Srpska. Because of this, in August of the same year, the President of the autonomy was criminally charged with disobeying the High Representative for BiH, Christian Schmidt, approved by the UN Security Council (SC).

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation He will not take the verdict into account because it is based on the decision of Schmidt, a foreigner who has no legitimate authority without a UN appointment.
