Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, during his visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, discussed key issues in an interview, including the European Court of Human Rights' rulings in the Kovacevic and Sejdic-Finci cases. Plenkovic referred to these rulings, which highlight discrimination against non-constituent peoples in BiH, as "fabricated."

Addressing the Kovacevic case, where the court found discrimination against Slaven Kovacevic for not being able to vote for non-constituent candidates in the BiH Presidency, and the 2009 Sejdic-Finci ruling, which noted that Bosnia’s constitution discriminates against non-constituent peoples (like Roma and Jewish communities), Plenkovic disagreed with the rulings’ premise.

“These cases are a legal route to achieving political goals… Bosnia was structured based on a political agreement post-war, not on rulings from the European Court,” Plenkovic stated. He further remarked, “All of these cases are fabricated, and that’s something everyone knows. They have been initiated for political reasons.”

He emphasized Croatia’s commitment to upholding the foundational principles of the Dayton Agreement and expressed concerns about the electoral system in BiH, where, according to him, Croats feel discriminated against.

“Bosnia as we know it today was created in Dayton, and that was a political agreement after the war… The electoral process creates a negative atmosphere, where Croats feel discriminated against,” Plenkovic added. He also reiterated Croatia's support for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s path toward European Union integration.
