The allegations recently published on the Serbian newspaper “Srpski Telegraf” regarding EUFOR arresting Serb member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milorad Dodik for corruption, are nonsense and a completely baseless story. EUFOR remains committed to supporting the BiH authorities in maintaining a safe and secure environment for the population of the country.

Izjava EUFOR-a o lažnоj vijesti
Navodi nedavno objavljeni u novinama iz Srbije „Srpski Telegraf“ o hapšenju srpskog člana Predsjedništva Bosne i Hercegovine Milorada Dodika od strane EUFOR-a zbog korupcije su besmislica i u potpunosti neutemeljena priča. EUFOR ostaje posvećen pružanju podrške vlastima BiH u održavanju sigurnog i stabilnog okruženja za stanovništvo zemlje.
