The Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) conditioned the work of Bosnia’s state institutions by amending the Law on the Constitutional Court of BiH. Efforts to "kick out" foreign judges from this institution have never been more intense. Republika Srpska (RS) entity authorities went so far as to pass decisions in the National Assembly on non-implementation of the decisions of the state Constitutional Court. Following all these actions the Bosniak Caucus is determined not to allow changes to the Law on BiH Constitutional Court, said delegate Dzemal Smajic.

“[Amendments] will certainly be on the agenda at the next session of the House of Peoples, coalition partner Milorad Dodik also announced at the previous session that the issue of the Constitutional Court will be on the agenda and that the Council of Ministers will prepare amendments to that Law and refer them to the parliamentary procedure,” he says.

“I think this time it will go first to the House of Representatives, and only then to the session of the House of Peoples, but even if it passes in the House of Representatives, it is certain that the Bosniak Caucus will leave the session, I don't believe that the whole Caucus will leave, but as many members as it is enough, that is, the minimum three delegates from the Bosniak Caucus will leave and thereby show that this is the red line and we will not cross it, we will not allow changes to the Law on the Constitutional Court as imagined by Milorad Dodik and Dragan Covic. We are ready to block the work of the House because it is a red line below which we will certainly not go”, Smajic told N1.

He also added that the international community would certainly be more rigorous and initiate some concrete matters against Milorad Dodik, “but the parties of the troika skillfully save him. They already extended a hand to him several times, pulled him out of the situation, and brought him back to political life. Dodik can only thank the parties of the troika for the mild response of the international community.”
