EU calls on all political actors in Bosnia-Herzegovina to respect territorial integrity and constitutional order of country

10/01/2025 (Agence Europe) – In a press release issued on Friday 10 January, the EU stressed “that the sovereignty, territorial integrity, constitutional order - including Constitutional Court decisions - and international personality of Bosnia and Herzegovina need to be respected”. The Constitutional Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina has ruled that the legislation of the Republika Srpska (Bosnian Serb Republic) relating to Republika Srpska Day does not comply with the Constitution of Bosnia-Herzegovina. “The EU urges the political leadership of the Republika Srpska entity to refrain from and renounce provocative, divisive rhetoric and actions, including questioning the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the country”. All political actors in Bosnia-Herzegovina must “take resolute action to implement the necessary reforms to advance on the EU path towards opening EU accession negotiations”. (SP)
