SARAJEVO (Reuters) -Slovenia has barred entry to the separatist leader of the Serb part of Bosnia, who has been sentenced to a year in jail and banned from politics for defying Bosnia's international peace envoy, Deputy Prime Minister Matej Arcon said on Thursday.
Arcon said the decision preventing the Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik from entering Slovenia was effective immediately, marking the latest travel restriction against him.
Dodik, who has already been barred from Austria, Germany, Poland and Lithuania over threats to peace and EU integration of Bosnia, has vowed to defy a February court ruling banning him from political office for six years and stay in office.
His conviction sparked uproar in Bosnia's autonomous Serb Republic, triggering Bosnia's worst political crisis since the conflict, which killed around 100,000 people in 1992-5.
