After winning the Serb seat on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s state presidency, Milorad Dodik announced that he wants to appoint well-known Serbian film-maker Emir Kusturica as his adviser.
Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, the winner of the Serb seat on Bosnia’s tripartite state presidency, told Belgrade newspaper Vecernje Novosti on Tuesday that appointing Emir Kusturica as his advisor will be one of his first moves.
In the same newspaper, Kusturica, a prominent Serbian film-maker known for his close relations with Dodik, described the Bosnian Serb politician as a very capable figure who has achieved a lot.
“He [Dodik] managed to transform Banja Luka [the administrative centre of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity] from a village to a decent town where all the European marks of a town can be found,” Kusturica said.
Dodik meanwhile repeated he will not work from the Bosnian presidency building in Sarajevo but at a different building in the Serb-run municipality of East Sarajevo.
