BANJA LUKA, May 21 (FENA) - Bosnia and Herzegovina suffers daily pressures and attacks on its sovereignty, from both external and internal actors. These are all those who do not respect the Constitution and laws of BiH, do not do their job or obstruct BiH bodies. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a permanent category and the sooner everyone understands that, the sooner positive changes will begin to happen, said an MP of the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska (RSNA) and a member of the SDA Presidency Senad Bratić in an interview with FENA.
Commenting on the appearance of the so-called non-paper, Bratić stated that it is a document unknown to writer, sender and recipient, and which is not in accordance with the Dayton Peace Agreement, of which the BiH Constitution is an integral part (Annex 4 of the DPA).
He believes that this document opened topics that are not good, both for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the entire region and beyond.
“All important international institutions are distancing themselves from this document, and I believe that its appearance was aimed at questioning the Dayton Peace Agreement and the sovereignty of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Bratić pointed out.
When it comes to the initiative, which ranged from secession to dialogue on the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bratić warns that the story of secession in BiH is a kind of call for a coup, because it is contrary to the Dayton Peace Agreement and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to which the entities have no sovereignty, but only the state of BiH.
“BiH has continuity, and the entities were created by Annex 4 of the Dayton Agreement. Therefore, all public goods belong to the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the entities are determined only by the right of use according to the Constitution of BiH. Given the above, any story about secession is unconstitutional, and it is not only a blow to the Dayton Peace Agreement, but also to peace and coexistence in this area. As for the call for dialogue, I think that it is more a call for a monologue and to divert attention from many life problems that burden the everyday life of ordinary people and for which the current government has no real answer, and to improve the rating of politics that came to a standstill. The dialogue is conducted in the institutions of the system, the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH and the Presidency of BiH, in which both the entity and the interests of the constituent peoples and others are provided. We have come to a situation, as people say: "One thing is said and another is done", because the invitation comes from the incumbent chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which according to the rules of procedure should meet regularly every 15 days, and he has not scheduled regular sessions for months,” he said.
He also points out that the call for dialogue comes from the RS National Assembly, the institution that in one of the earlier decisions called on its representatives to boycott the work of parliamentary bodies and commissions of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly, and which is the only one constitutionally competent for such topics.
“If the RSNA calls for dialogue, then why is that right maximally limited by the new Rules of Procedure for MPs in the plenum of the National Assembly? I think that this call for dialogue should be offered to the public in this entity, both institutions and citizens, and that the agenda of the RSNA should include topics that are important for the life of citizens, such as economy, employment, social policy, health, public companies, corruption, nepotism,” said Bratić.
Commenting on the laying of the foundation stone and the announcement of the construction of HPP Buk Bijela and current relations with Serbia in general, he said that this announcement, and the very beginning marked by the laying of the foundation stone, is an obvious blow to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Bosnia and Herzegovina did not give its consent, nor was any consent requested from the BiH Attorney's Office, because giving it would be a violation of the BiH Constitution and previous Decisions of the BiH Constitutional Court. Therefore, any illegal access of another state to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina is legally inadmissible. The leadership of both the Republic of Serbia and the BiH entity Republika Srpska is aware of these facts, and they do not support the good neighborly relations between the two countries. We cannot accept statements coming from the Republic of Serbia on respect for the sovereignty and integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, if the opposite is done. Such and similar activities cannot result in better relations between our two countries and the only way to fix that is an honest dialogue at the level of state institutions and within the constitutional competencies of both countries,” said Bratić.
