KOŠARAC: BiH INSTITUTIONS CANNOT DECIDE ON SRPSKA COMPETENCES

SARAJEVO, MARCH 27 /SRNA/ – Council of Ministers Deputy Chair Staša Košarac says that BiH institutions cannot decide on Republika Srpska competences, nor participate in the process of political decision-making in Srpska, adding that this has finally become clear even to the incomplete Constitutional Court of BiH.

"It would be good if official Sarajevo understood that as well," Košarac posted on X. The incomplete Constitutional Court of BiH rejected as inadmissible the request of 11 members of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly to determine the existence of a dispute between BiH and Republika Srpska regarding the adoption of decisions electing the speaker and members of the Srpska Government, due to lack of decision-making competences. The explanation stated that the adoption of the contested decisions did not cause a dispute because it concerns the correctness of the procedure for electing the speaker and members of the Republika Srpska Government, which is regulated by the Constitution of Srpska, not the Constitution of BiH, for which the Republika Srpska Constitutional Court is competent.
