Bosnia and Herzegovina requested Interpol to issue a 'red notice' seeking the arrest of Milorad Dodik, president of the Republika Srpska, but Interpol declined, finding the request legally baseless. Despite Interpol's prompt action, Bosnian authorities achieved their goal of negative headlines and disrupting Dodik's attendance at an international conference. Bosnia's actions can be seen as a form of lawfare, weaponizing legal institutions for political ends. The country's unique form of government, with supreme power lying in the hands of an unelected high representative, allows for the abuse of power. The situation in Bosnia highlights the hypocrisy of European states in their actions in the region.
