Amendments by Amer Obradović incorporated into the new law on legal profession in FBiH

(Patria) - The House of Representatives of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the Draft Law on Legal Profession at today's 19th regular session. This proposed law had been on the agenda twice before but was returned without discussion and voting.

Deputy of the Independent Bloc Amer Obradović submitted amendments to this draft law in February and July 2020, but they were only discussed and decided upon today. The good news is that Obradović's amendments have been adopted and incorporated into the draft, specifically concerning the methods of adopting attorney tariffs, separating the tariff for representation ex officio, and the obligation to issue an invoice after the client's order for the requested legal service has been fully executed.

"This compromises the interests of attorneys, ensures their equality in market access, while simultaneously protecting social categories and citizens as service users," said Amer Obradović about the adopted amendments.

In a situation where the government is de facto blocked and the adoption of any new law is a surprise, it is important to be part of constructive solutions, which the Independent Bloc will always demonstrate by its example.
