At a press conference in East Sarajevo, SNSD president and BiH Presidency member Milorad Dodik labeled BN television as “part of a joint criminal enterprise against the RS” and “the biggest criminals in the RS”. After Slađana Jašarević, a journalist from this television, reacted to his accusations, Dodik told her that she was a “big traitor” and concluded that “those from BN are not normal”.

At the same time, the spokeswoman of the hospital in Trebinje told the attendees before the start of the press conference that only journalists from three selected media outlets have the right to ask questions to the director of the hospital, while others cannot ask questions.
