"This would guarantee the expertise of candidates, which has been a problem in previous practice," Dunović stated.

Let us also recall that the Commission for Elections and Appointments of the Federal Parliament decided yesterday that the only candidate for judge of the Constitutional Court of BiH will be Marin Vukoja.

This proposal will be on the agenda of the session of the House of Representatives of the Parliament of the Federation of BiH, scheduled for May 28.
