Dodik declares Bosnia 'dead' in pre-election rally, escalating secessionist rhetoric

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik described Bosnia and Herzegovina as 'dead' at a final campaign rally, intensifying secessionist rhetoric ahead of elections. This marks a rhetorical escalation from his usual nationalist stance, though it remains unclear if it signals concrete moves toward secession. The statement could heighten ethnic tensions and complicate post-election governance.
