The EU Delegation in Bosnia and Herzegovina reminded that the country’s Constitutional Court ruled that marking the Day of Republika Srpska in the Serb-majority entity on January 9 is unconstitutional and urged the political leadership of in Republika Srpska (RS) entity to” refrain from and renounce provocative, divisive rhetoric and actions, including questioning the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity”.
The Constitutional Court of BiH has ruled several times that celebrating January 9 as RS Day is unconstitutional. This date marks the 1992 proclamation of the “Republic of the Serb People of Bosnia and Herzegovina” by the then-Assembly of Serb People in Sarajevo. The goal was to later annex this part of BiH to the disintegrating Yugoslavia.
In its statement, the EU emphasised that “the sovereignty, territorial integrity, constitutional order – including Constitutional Court decisions – and international personality of Bosnia and Herzegovina need to be respected”.
“The EU urges the political leadership of the Republika Srpska to refrain from and renounce provocative, divisive rhetoric and actions, including questioning the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the country.
The EU urges all political actors in BiH to take resolute action to implement the necessary reforms to advance on the EU path towards opening EU accession negotiations.
We reiterate our full commitment to the EU accession perspective of BiH as a single, united and sovereign country”, the statement said.
