Republika Srpska (RS) parliament speaker Igor Radojicic said that the events surrounding the arrest of former Bosnia-Herzegovina army general Jovan Divjak have brought the situation in BiH to the boiling point and added that a special session of the RS parliament will probably be held toward the end of March.

"RS cannot sit idly by and watch all of this unfold," Radojicic said in an interview for the Novi Sad daily Dnevnik, saying that tensions were running high in BiH as it is.

Divjak's arrest in Austria and "everything that followed in Sarajevo, ending with the city posting the EUR 500,000 bail, has brought the situation to the boiling point," said the RS parliament speaker.

Radojicic pointed out that after Divjak's arrest all top Bosniak officials intervened - before BiH and RS, which was not consulted - on behalf of a man accused of war crimes.

"This is not the first time, we saw a similar scenario when wartime member of the BiH Presidency Ejup Ganic was arrested in London. We must react to this," Radojicic concluded.

RS President Milorad Dodik said earlier he will call a special parliament session to discuss the prosecution of war crimes against Serbs to date, as well as the behavior of high-level international officials in BiH.

Dodik also announced that he will ask the RS police to arrest Ganic and Divjak "the minute they enter RS territory" and turn them over to the Serbian authorities for war crimes committed in Dobrovoljacka street in Sarajevo in 1992.
