Bosnia's Federation entity rejects call to define inter-entity border

Bosnian Federation entity Parliament's House of Representatives rejected on Wednesday the Serb-entity parliament's call for defining the inter-entity border, calling on the Annex 2 of the Dayton Peace Agreement which says that the border is only of administrative significance.

The Croat caucus voted against this conclusion and suggested that the “House of Representatives invites the international community to help with the process of preserving peace and Bosnia's constitutional order and to accept all dialogue-based solutions in line with the Constitution and European standards.”

Another conclusion that was adopted Wednesday night was a call to “Bosnia's Parliamentary Assembly to adopt laws regulating the use of state-owned land by lowed administrative levels and local communities.”

The FBiH representatives called on the international community's administrator overseeing the civilian implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement to sanction those who are taking part or who took part in overthrowing the constitutional order, undermining the Dayton Agreement and not implementing Constitutional Court and European Court of Human Rights’ orders.

After the Monday session, Bosnia’s Serb-majority region instructed its representatives in state institutions to halt any decision-making processes until the adoption and implementation of a law that would remove foreign judges from the Constitutional Court and reject any “undemocratic” and unconstitutional decisions by the Court and Bosnia’s international administrator.

The state Constitutional Court recently ruled that an RS law which defines all agricultural public property as the ownership of Republika Srpska is unconstitutional, arguing that the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina should be the owner of such land.
