The authority and integrity of the Constitutional Court of BiH as the highest judicial body of Bosnia and Herzegovina is unquestionable. Its decisions, which are final and binding throughout the country, must be respected, said the spokeswoman of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy on the occasion of the vote in the National Assembly of the RS.
He points out that the National Assembly of the RS does not have the authority to decide on the non-application of decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that yesterday's vote on the non-application of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of BiH in Republika Srpska is without legal basis.
The vote represents a clear departure from the expectations that accompanied the granting of EU candidate status. The interruption of cooperation in achieving key EU priorities is regrettable and completely contrary to the wishes and interests of all citizens of BiH, the Statement of the EU Delegation to BiH said.
The EU consistently shows that it is a loyal partner to Bosnia and Herzegovina with an unequivocal commitment to the country and its perspective of joining the EU as a single, united and sovereign state.
