BELGRADE (Reuters) - Bosnia's state court on Wednesday convicted Bosnian Serb separatist leader Milorad Dodik for defying orders of an international peace envoy and sentenced him to one year in prison, the court said in a statement.

Bosnia's international high representative on Friday accused the political leadership of the country's Serb statelet of seeking to destabilise the Balkan nation, and urged an end to actions that threaten to "undermine" Bosnia's peace accords.
