The first of the conclusions that should be agreed today at the session of the Croatian National Assembly (HNS), says the following (specifically what the members of the HNS stated):”HNS assesses that in the negotiations so far, the HNS Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) negotiating team has consistently implemented the established negotiating framework of the Mostar Agreement of June 17th, 2020 on Amendments to the BiH Election Law and Limited Amendments to the BiH Constitution, especially in the part related to the legitimate representation of the constituent peoples at all administrative and political levels of government.”
Further, the second conclusion of the HNS concerns Ljubic‘s decision and the lack of conditions for holding elections. “HNS confirms that the formal and legal conditions for holding the 2022 General Elections have not been met. The current Election Law is not in line with the BiH Constitution and is anti-Dayton. Its amendments should enable the implementation of the decision of the Constitutional Court of BiH U-23/14 and all judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, “ it was mentioned in the conclusion of the HNS.
In conclusion number three, the HNS pointed out that it is ready to continue negotiating on the Election Law. Namely, the fourth conclusion is interesting because it characterizes practically all pro-Bosniak parties as usurpers of Croatian political rights, mentions that they endanger Croatian national interests, and tells them that they are not a partner of the HNS.
”All political actors who block the implementation of the Mostar Agreement and thus prevent the Croatian constituent people from legitimately representing themselves in the House of Peoples and the Presidency of BiH, HNS will consider usurpers of Croatian political rights and threats to national interests and political subjectivity of Croats in BiH. Such political subjects and actors are not and will not be political partners of the HNS BiH,” it was written in the fourth conclusion.
The fifth conclusion concerns the Central Election Commission(CEC).
The sixth conclusion states the following: ”HNS will consistently respect the existing constitutional and legal order of BiH established by Croats, Bosniaks, and Serbs as three constitutionally equal constituent peoples until initiatives to amend the BiH Constitution and its laws violate such relations to the detriment of the Croatian constituent people.”
Conclusion number seven is perhaps the clearest. Either Herceg-Bosna or the Election Law and the consumption of political rights.
