Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik has been removed from office by the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina after he rejected an order on Aug. 1 that he should go to jail for one year and be banned from politics for six years.
Suad Arnautovic, a member of the commission, said the decision against Dodik would take effect after the expiry of an appeals period, and that within 90 days of that period, an early election would be called in the Republika Srpska.
