On the occasion of the decision of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina made at the Constitutional Court’s 126th plenary session, which repealed certain provisions of the Declaration on Constitutional Issues and Conclusions adopted by the National Assembly concerning the return of jurisdiction to the Republic of Srpska, the party Our Story, Republic of Srpska addressed a question to the judges of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“Seeing as the Constitutional Court of BiH has declared itself incompetent to assess the constitutionality of the Dayton Peace Agreement as it relates to the Constitution of the Republic of BiH, since the Constitutional Court was established per the Constitution of BiH with the singular task to support the Constitution (Decision No. U 1/03 dated July 25, 2003, Article 10, published in the Official Gazzette of BiH No. 38/03), how it can then be possible that the Constitutional Court of BiH revokes the decision about its own incompetence made in 2003 and now declares itself competent to repeal the provisions of the Declaration On the Constitutional Principles of the National Assembly of RS, that is, the Conclusions of the National Assembly of RS about the transfer, return of BiH competencies to the entity level in the fields of defense, justice and indirect taxation arising from the Dayton Agreement on entity competences,” asked the party Our Story, Republic of Srpska.

They told the judges of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina that they could not “declare themselves incompetent in one case of the constitutionality of the Dayton Agreement as it relates to the Constitution of BiH, and competent in another, which is the basis of the aforementioned Declaration and Conclusions of the National Assembly of RS”.
