Bosić requests constitutionality review of five cantonal constitutions

FENA Muhamed Hadžibegić

SARAJEVO, February 27 (FENA) – Deputy Chair of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly House of Peoples Mladen Bosić at today’s press conference in Sarajevo said that he had filed a request for constitutionality review of certain provisions of the constitutions of five cantons in the Federation of BiH in which the constitutionality of the Serb people or Serbian language and Cyrillic script is not recognized.

He stressed that a similar initiative had not received support at the last session of the BiH PA House of Representatives and that he had exercised his right as a member of that House’s Collegium to file a request for constitutionality review and that he expected the BiH Constitutional Court to as soon as possible give its opinion on this.

He specified that the request for the constitutionality review relates to the provisions of the Constitution of the Posavina Canton, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, Zenica-Doboj Canton, Bosnia-Podrinje Canton and West Herzegovina Canton.

Mr. Bosić said that it had turned out that these cantons did not have the will to change the controversial provisions themselves, which was seen recently when such an initiative did not go ahead because the representatives of the Croat people voted against it.

He stressed that the issue of language in Republika Srpska was resolved by the Constitution saying that the official languages in RS are languages spoken by Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats and that he would have no objection to the Serb language being recognized in cantonal constitutions as the language spoken by the Serb people.
