SARAJEVO, April 27 (FENA) - The amendments to the Law on Foreigners is one of the laws that the delegates in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina should consider at the session scheduled for tomorrow, April 27.
These amendments were previously adopted by the House of Representatives, and as stated in the explanation, they are necessary since the migrant crisis is a huge humanitarian and security challenge for all countries affected by this problem.
The changes are aimed at achieving the effect of deterring migrants from committing crimes and misdemeanors with the characteristics of violence and violations of public order and peace during their stay in BiH.
The implementation of this law should facilitate deportation and speed up the procedures for expelling those migrants who commit crimes and serious offenses on the territory of BiH, and thus send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
In the course of adopting the agenda, a delegate of the caucus of the Bosniak People, Denis Bećirović (SDP), proposed that it be supplemented with the item "consideration and adoption of the conclusions of the House of Peoples on establishing constitutional equality of the Serb people, the Serbian and Bosnian languages and the Cyrillic alphabet in the constitutions of the cantons in the Federation of BiH where this has not been prescribed so far."
Bećirović said that he has prepared concrete conclusions that should be adopted if this item gets on the agenda.
He added that, among other things, these conclusions state "that we must fight for the equality of all people and that we must clearly ensure the following measures in several cantons of the Federation of BiH where this has not been done so far - equality of the Serb people with other peoples in these cantons, the Serbian language as an official and constitutionally recognized language, the Bosnian language as an official and constitutionally recognized language and the Cyrillic alphabet as an official and constitutionally recognized script”.
"It is very important in BiH that we show the political will that we are ready to defend the human rights of all people in BiH on every inch of BiH territory, regardless of ethnicity or religion," said Bećirović.
The delegates in the HoP, nevertheless, rejected to include this item on the agenda of today's session.
The delegates will also discuss the amendments to the Election Law, which were also previously adopted by the House of Representatives, and which should regulate the institute of suspension of the parliamentary mandate, which is the right of MPs, under certain circumstances, to put the mandate on hold.
Delegates should also consider amendments to the Law on Salaries and Remunerations and the Labor Law, which provide for the abolition of the right to compensation on the basis of jubilee awards for elected and appointed officials in the BiH institutions.
Amendments to the Law on Public Procurement proposed by the Council of Ministers of BiH, which are one of the 14 priorities set before BiH by the European Commission for obtaining a candidate status, will also be discussed at the session.
Several initiatives are also on the agenda of the session, one of them involves establishing a social dialogue with trade unions and signing a collective agreement.
One initiative refers to the formation of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Amendments to the Election Law in accordance with the judgments of the Constitutional Court, and at the same time, the delegates will discuss the Proposal for the establishment of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Preparation of Amendments to the same law.
