BANJA LUKA, March 5 (FENA) - The Bosniak Caucus in the Republika Srpska (RS) Council of Peoples vetoed the Law on Secondary Education in that entity because it completely rejects the name of Bosnian language, confirmed to FENA the head of this caucus, Mujo Hadžiomerović.
“We have launched the issue of the protection of vital national interest because this law treats the name of the language used by Bosniak people more generally than the RS Constitution,” Mr. Hadžiomerović said.
The entity constitution states that the language of the Serb people, the language of the Bosniak people and the language of the Croat people were in use in the RS, and now, he says, the Law on Secondary Education mentions the “language of the constituent peoples”.
"This is a more general term in relation to the Constitution, which is inadmissible for Bosniaks, bearing in mind that the BiH Constitutional Court has ruled that no one can impose the name of the language," Mr. Hadžiomerović pointed out.
He announced that all mechanisms would be used to warn of the discrimination that is being carried out regarding this issue in the RS.
The Bosniak Caucus also vetoed the Law on Gas in RS and will launch, Mr. Hadžiomerović says, an initiative to review its legality and constitutionality.
The solutions to this entity law are, he says, contradictory to the recommendations of the European Energy Community regarding this field.
The Law on Secondary Education and the Law on Gas were adopted on 22 February, at the third session of the RS National Assembly.
The Council of Peoples will give its opinion on the Bosniaks’ veto to these laws, and if there is no response, then the Joint Commission or, possibly, the RS Constitutional Court will give their opinions.
