House of Reps to vote on dismissal of officials from Dodik's party

SNSD representatives were absent from the session, having previously informed the Collegium of the House of Representatives that they would not attend due to their participation in the celebration of Republika Srpska Police Day.
The proponents of the initiative for the dismissal of SNSD officials in the Council of Ministers of BiH include the heads of parliamentary caucuses: Sasa Magazinović (SDP BiH), Nihad Omerovic (NiP), and Sabina Cudic (NS – BHI KF), as well as MPs Jasmin Imamovic, Albin Muslic, Rejhana Dervisevic, Ermina Salkicevic-Dizdarevic, Denis Zvizdic, Mia Karamehic-Abazovic, Predrag Kojovic, and Aida Barucija.

Explaining the reasons behind the initiative, Nihad Omerovic stated that the political group led by SNSD and its leader, Milorad Dodik, is undermining peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region through unconstitutional actions.

It was previously noted that even before recent events, SNSD representatives and their coalition partners had attempted to block BiH’s European path, violating an agreement that entailed the adoption of European laws and several Council of Ministers decisions aimed at making significant progress toward EU integration in the interest of all citizens.

On February 25, the House of Representatives had already decided to dismiss SNSD ministers Stasa Kosarac, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, and Srdjan Amidzic, Minister of Finance and Treasury.

The proposal to dismiss ministers Kosarac and Amidzic was on the agenda of an urgent session of the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH two days ago. However, the session was interrupted before the matter could be discussed, as three SNSD delegates from the Serb Caucus left the session, thereby preventing a quorum.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Denis Zvizdic, announced that the next session will be held on April 15.
