Milorad Dodik, the Bosnian Serb separatist leader, has been sentenced by a Bosnia court to a year in jail, along with a mandated six-year disqualification from his role as president of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated region. The ruling came after Dodik defied orders from Christian Schmidt, an international peace envoy established in 1995 to prevent a re-escalation of conflict in the Balkans.
