BH Journalists: Dodik’s political inquisition against media and civil society

SARAJEVO, February 9 (FENA) – The Management Board of the Association of BH Journalists and the Journalists' Help Line have condemned as unlawful and unconstitutional the attempts by the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, to criminalize journalists, media outlets, and civil society organizations. Dodik claims these groups have been illegally spending donations from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and working to undermine Republika Srpska at the behest of the U.S. administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
