RS Government to Cease Cooperation with SIPA, BiH Court and Prosecutor's Office

All institutions of Republika Srpska, including the Government, are ceasing cooperation with SIPA, the Court and the Prosecutor's Office of BiH, due to the arrest of five men today in Bosanski Novi, who are accused of war crimes in the area of this municipality.

The Minister of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, Dragan Lukač, stated that the RS Government assessed that SIPA's actions during today's arrest in Bosanski Novi represent a gross violation of inter-police cooperation and an unconstitutional procedure.

He told reporters that it was concluded at an extraordinary session of the RS Government that the search of the municipal buildings, police station, and public utility company in Novi Grad casts doubt on the trust in the RS Ministry of Internal Affairs, reports NAP.
