Circle 99: Assess the factual situation and return to the Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina

(Patria) - The decades-long creeping separatist strategy of undermining the society and state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, destroying the existing constitutional order and the Dayton Peace Agreement as a whole, has undoubtedly entered an open, offensive phase of accelerated and undisguised secession of the Republika Srpska entity from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The adoption of laws that destroy the fundamental instruments and institutions of the sovereign State are a fact, according to a statement from Circle 99.

"Dodik's government has abandoned the Dayton Peace Agreement! Despite the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the positions of numerous international actors and witnesses to the DPA, the creation of a de facto situation of institutional paralysis and conflicts that dangerously threaten to escalate into armed conflicts continues.

This is not in the interest of any reasonable citizen, nor any well-meaning inhabitant of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

It should finally be declared that the entity division of our country has proven to be an unsuccessful experiment! And that it is the key generator of societal destruction and a dysfunctional state!

The concept of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina with two entities and three constituent peoples was and remains a model not only of ethnic divisions in the country but also of encouraging expansionist ethno-territorial pretensions and hegemonism of Serbia and Croatia.

This situation must change! Faced with the choice between peace or the renewal of armed conflicts, with special reason and full right, a different constitutional-legal and territorial organization of BiH must be sought due to the failure of the current one.

Such a solution is foreseen in the return to the Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina! It was adopted with the adoption of the Constitutional Law on Amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and voted on at the legal Assembly of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 12, 1995.

Namely, Article 1 stipulates that "The Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in exercising its sovereign rights, may reshape its internal organization in accordance with the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the framework of the International Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina."

But also that, due to the eventual non-implementation, or the situation we are currently in, the solution and obligations defined in Article 2 of the same Law should be clearly defined. Namely, that "If the International Peace Agreement and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina are not implemented, the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina may declare the International Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina invalid and continue to act as an internationally recognized, sovereign and independent state, in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina."

Circle 99 calls on the current deputies in the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who form the continuity with the Assembly of the Republic of BiH, to assess the factual situation of the Republika Srpska authorities abandoning the Dayton Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to initiate the procedure and adopt a Decision on returning to the Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina", it was stated.
