We ask all believers to have understanding and respect for the measures that have been taken. Stay in your homes for Easter and celebrate the holiday in your hearts," Dodik said.

"I appeal on believers and on gatherings to celebrate the holiday. We are used to celebrating, but we should celebrate with our families and respect the measures, I agree with Vucic on this measure fully," said the Serb member of the BiH Presidency and stressed that he would tighten measures in the RS and prohibit additional movement.
