FENA Press release

SARAJEVO / BANJA LUKA, May 12 (FENA) - The National Assembly of the entity of Republika Srpska last night, at its regular session, adopted ten conclusions regarding the "Initiation of a Dialogue between Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the three constituent peoples of Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks for possible solutions for Bosnia and Herzegovina" (proposed by the SNSD caucus).

At the suggestion of the caucuses of the SNSD, NDP-NPS, DEMOS, Ujedinjena Srpska and the Socialist Party, the conclusions state that the National Assembly of Republika Srpska "affirms that, since the signing of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH there has been inadmissible alteration and violation of the Agreement, and especially Annex IV, the Constitution of BiH ", and that, "the RS is a contracting party in the DPA and that the rights and obligations of the RS derive from the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina".

The entity parliament in its conclusions accepts only "the entities and constituent peoples in BiH" as bearers of sovereignty. "Any imposition of sovereignty beyond that has an unconstitutional and anti-Dayton character. Bosnia and Herzegovina has limited and derived sovereignty, which is reflected in its actions towards third countries. Internal sovereignty belongs to Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH."

In conclusion number four, the RSNA states that "the Dayton structure and balance in BiH have been disturbed and that the constituent peoples have been disenfranchised due to the unconstitutional actions of the international community in BiH. The following conclusion states that "that the Dayton structure of BiH has been disturbed after and that the Initiative to start a dialogue between Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH, as well as the three constituent peoples of Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks on possible solutions for BiH, calls on the Federation of BiH, as a contracting party, to a comprehensive dialogue on the current situation in BiH and possible solutions for the future of Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH."

The RSNA also states "that the parties in the future comprehensive dialogue should be Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH and the three constituent peoples, Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks."

In conclusion number seven, the RSNA "expects the President of Republika Srpska to inform the Federation of BiH about the conclusions and positions of the National Assembly, and to form a negotiating team for a dialogue with the Federation of BiH, in order to reach an agreement on the future of Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH."

The National Assembly of Republika Srpska recommends to the President of the RS "to include in the negotiating team the representatives of the highest institutions of the RS, representatives of Republika Srpska in the 'joint institutions' of BiH, as well as representatives of parliamentary parties in the National Assembly."

The National Assembly recommends that a negotiating team for dialogue with the Federation of BiH be formed within 30 days, as well as that the activities for initiating dialogue should be launched.

Also, conclusion number nine states that the National Assembly of Republika Srpska instructs the negotiating team to draw up an operational working plan and to report regularly to the National Assembly on the activities carried out, and finally, it informs the public that "these conclusions enter into force on the day of their adoption."

The National Assembly of Republika Srpska in its conclusions states that "the position of the High Representative in BiH was introduced by Annex X of the Dayton Agreement, which was also signed by Republika Srpska, and that the High Representative cannot, in any case, be superior to Republika Srpska."

The entity parliament also rejected the Bonn Powers as the special competencies that the HR holds, and said that the High Representative stepped out of the framework of his competencies determined by the Annex 10 of the Dayton Peace Agreement.

“Because he unlawfully, unconstitutionally and without restrictions took legislative, executive and judicial powers, violating basic human rights and international instruments for their protection, using the so-called Bonn powers,” the RS National Assembly said.

The RSNA endorsed the conclusions on rejecting the request by the High Representative Valentin Inzko to cancel the medals and recognitions it had previously awarded to convicted war criminals. 

The text of the conclusions was agreed on by both the ruling political parties and the opposition, but the heads of the opposition parties the SDS and the PDP caucuses did not sign them.
