it's part of a series of threats dodik has made to separate from the rest of bosnia since he rejected a new law banning genocide denial. in bosnia, many people suspect leaders of all sides play on fears of new violence to secure their own power. that's dangerous in a fragile country where world leaders are still heroes. serb nationalists venerate general ratko mladic, now serving life for genocide. dodik wouldn't meet the bbc, so we spoke to disabled serb war veterans in banja luka. they wanted reconciliation. for them, that means acceptance that they were also victims, unfairly condemned for fighting for theirfamilies and their old commander. translation: ratko mladic is sentenced, he is in jail, i but he is still our hero. i don't understand why they can't just accept this.
