Republika Srpska disrupts European integration

In one of the adopted points, the representatives of Srpska call for the suspension of decision-making in the domain of European integration until the rule of law is established in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The conclusions were supported by the SNSD, NPS-DNS, DEMOS-SPS, SP and United Srpska MPs' clubs, Srna reported. In the first conclusion, it is stated that the National Assembly of Republika Srpska adopts the information about the collapse of the legal order in BiH by violating the Dayton Peace Agreement, by the illegal actions of high representatives in BiH, by the anti-Dayton actions of the Constitutional Court of BiH, the Court and the Prosecutor's Office of BiH.

The National Assembly of Srpska, as stated in the conclusions, remains committed to respecting the territory and shared sovereignty between the entities and BiH, as defined by the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH, especially Annex Two. It is stated that the National Assembly of Republika Srpska states that the legal system and legal security of all citizens of Republika Srpska and BiH have been seriously violated in view of the making of illegal decisions by all previous high representatives, as well as Christian Schmit, who was not elected as a high representative in accordance with the Annex 10 of the Dayton Agreement.

In the conclusions, it is stated that the EU legal system does not accept the possibility that an unelected foreigner passes laws instead of democratically elected institutions, and requires the appointed and elected representatives of Srpska from the Serbian constituent people in common institutions to suspend decision-making in the domain of European integration until the conditions for the process of European integration takes place in accordance with the postulates of democracy and the rule of law.

The National Assembly of Srpska demands that the acts that resulted from the unconstitutional actions of a foreign individual, who according to the Constitution is neither an authorized proposer of the law nor a legislator, be annulled, as well as that the deviations that resulted from such unconstitutional actions be removed so that the movement towards the EU continues unhindered.

It is established that the judicial institutions at the level of BiH, the Court of BiH, the Prosecutor's Office of BiH and the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of BiH are unconstitutional categories, which were imposed by the high representative by making illegal decisions, contrary to the Constitution of BiH, the rule of law and all democratic principles.

In the conclusions, it is stated that the unconstitutional Prosecutor's Office of BiH and the Court of BiH are conducting a politically rigged process against the representatives of the Republika Srpska, which is based on the illegally imposed decisions of Christian Schmit, because the representatives of the Srpska acted exclusively in accordance with the constitutional and legal powers and obligations within the legislative procedure of which holder, the National Assembly, and accordingly these judicial institutions are required to immediately suspend this politically staged process.

The interference of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the work of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, which according to the Constitution of the Republic of Srpska exercises constitutional and legislative power and whose decisions can only be reviewed by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Srpska, is condemned.

The National Assembly of Srpska notes that the last controversial action of the Prosecutor's Office of BiH violated the legal principle of the separation of powers, which represents an attack on the constitutional structure of BiH and the ultimate attempt to intimidate MPs whose decisions are sovereign and protected by immunity.

It is concluded that the abuse of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the attempt to interfere in the work of the highest representative body of the Republic of Srpska must be personalized and prosecuted. Otherwise, the National Assembly of Srpska, with the aim of protecting the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH and the constitutional order of Srpska, will be forced to take special measures that will serve to protect the Dayton Agreement.

The National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska asks the Government of the Republic of Srpska to prepare and submit to the procedure as soon as possible a proposal to amend the Criminal Code of the Republic of Srpska, which will criminalize non-compliance with and non-execution of the decisions of the institutions and bodies of the Republic of Srpska.

These conclusions enter into force on the day of their adoption. Nenad Stevandić said today that the NSRS is independent and sovereign, and MPs are protected by immunity and status and are not responsible for their work to anyone, except the people who elect them and the majority that determines the policy.

In the parliament, he pointed out, there are many different opinions, but one cannot vote against acts aimed at defending Srpska. Stevandić pointed out that conducting a sovereign policy has always been difficult, but that no one has the right to endanger that policy with their decisions.

"Our commodity must be below the interest of Srpska," said Stevandic. He pointed out that "all this coming from Sarajevo is part of the hybrid war" and that, as he says, we must unmask and measure three times before making any decisions.

Stevandić explained that the joint working group composed of parties in power and the opposition drafted the agenda for yesterday's special session of the NSRS yesterday in the morning, so that at 3 p.m. MPs from the opposition SDS and PDP would start withdrawing from the working group.

"They can't just withdraw after they requested and received an extraordinary session of the NSRS. They even asked for a 20-minute break at three o'clock in the morning. I gave them a five-minute break, after which they returned to the hall and voted," Stevandic said.
