BELGRADE, Serbia (AA) - The European Parliament on Wednesday called for the introduction of sanctions against Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik.

The resolution was adopted with 407 votes in favor, 92 against, and 142 abstentions.

It also expressed concern about the timing, content, and manner of changes to Bosnia's electoral law and the constitution, which were initiated by the high representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina on election day.
