BANJA LUKA, January 16 (FENA) - The Ministry of Education and Culture of Republika Srpska claims that the pupils and students of Bosniak nationality in this BiH entity in their documents, records and school forms “have the name of their language in accordance with the RS Constitution.”

“We remind that the Constitutional Court of BiH by addressing the request for the assessment of the constitutionality of the first sentence of Article 7. Paragraph 1 of the RS Constitution in the part which reads - the language of the Bosniak people - has determined that this construct is in accordance with the Constitution of BiH, says the RS ministry responding to protests by the representatives of the Bosniak parents in the regional schools in Zvornik, who say that they will not accept the wording “the language of the Bosniak people” instead of the language they speak and that is the Bosnian language.

Representatives of Bosniak parents in Zvornik regional schools state that their children are subjected to segregation and discrimination and that they will not attend classes unless they are allowed to study the Bosnian language.

Vice-President of the RS Council of Peoples Kemo Čamdžija (SDA), urged the Ministry of Education of RS to "urgently stop with the disgraceful actions and stop insulting and humiliating the returnee children, because these are acts of discrimination, the biggest cowardice and political violence against children".

He also called on international institutions, such as the OSCE, the EU Delegation and the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) member states to exert pressure on the RS government "to stop the negation of basic human rights against the returnee population."
