Bosnian Serb pro-Russian leader renews secession threat

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Bosnian Serb separatist leader Milorad Dodik renewed his secession threat on Monday, a week after the general election in the ethnically-divided country showed his party remained dominant among the Serbs.

Pro-Russian Dodik triggered the gravest political crisis in the postwar Bosnia last December when he tried to pull the Serb Republic out of key state institutions, such as judiciary, tax system and a joint armed forces.

Faced with U.S. and British sanctions and increased international presence in Bosnia caused by fears that Ukrainian war may spill into the Western Balkans, Dodik held back, saying at the time he was delaying, not abandoning the plan.

At a news conference in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia which is key ally of the Bosnian Serbs, Dodik renewed his criticism of Bosnia's present setup, saying it was a non-viable state created by foreigners.
