"Bosnian Serb Leader Dodik Defies US, Threatens Secession Amidst Global Concern"

Milorad Dodik, the Bosnian Serb separatist leader, has declared his intention to dismantle Bosnia's multiethnic institutions, potentially leading to full independence for the Serb-controlled regions. This move has raised concerns in the US, which has pledged to uphold the 1995 peace agreement that ended the Bosnian War. Dodik's pro-Russian stance and the fear of Russian influence destabilizing the region further complicate the situation, as Bosnia aims for EU accession amidst internal and external pressures.
