During arrival in front of the building of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH, the member of the Presidency of BiH Milorad Dodik pointed his middle finger through the window of the official car to the present journalist crews.

Later that day, Dodik said at the press conference that his gesture referred only to certain media outlets that, as he said, “continuously lie” in reporting on him.
