While Milorad Dodik was receiving an award at Judson University during the World Leaders Forum, a small group of Bosniak activists gathered in protest, attempting to oppose the recognition.
The protest did not affect the event, which proceeded as planned. According to reports, the demonstration reflected political disagreement with Dodik’s policies and public role, but did not succeed in influencing the university’s decision.
Judson University stated that the award was presented in the context of the forum’s focus on leadership, dialogue, and international engagement. The institution, known for emphasizing Christian values and academic exchange, did not cancel or alter the program.
The situation highlights ongoing political divisions related to Republika Srpska and differing perspectives among communities both in the region and the diaspora.
