The Chairman of Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency and its Bosnian Serb member, Milorad Dodik, was admitted to the hospital, his son, Igor Dodik, confirmed to N1 on Monday.
“He’s doing OK,” Igor Dodik told N1, but would not further elaborate.
According to media in Bosnia’s semi-autonomous Republika Srpska (RS) entity, Dodik has pneumonia. The University Clinical Center of Republika Srpska is expected to issue a press release on the Dodik’s health condition soon.
Dodik’s office said on Saturday that he went into home isolation after he had contact with a person who had tested positive for the virus.
However, it said that Dodik also got tested but the result came back negative that day.
Radovan Kovacevic, the spokesperson of Dodik’s party, the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD), told N1 that “there is no need to panic” and that Dodik has been feeling fatigue since Saturday.
