The National Assembly of Republika Srpska adopted today the Draft Law on Immunity, which stipulates that the highest holders of executive power in the RS are not criminally or civilly responsible for any procedure performed within the framework of their duties and thus protect themselves as well as the holders of legislative and judicial power.
47 deputies voted for this act, and none were against and none abstained.
In the explanation of this act, it is stated that the reason for the adoption of the draft law “is the fact that the existing legal solution, which was imposed on October 6, 2002 by the then high representative, leaves the possibility of conducting criminal proceedings against the highest holders of the executive power, which affects the independence and the functioning of the executive power”.
This draft law will be sent to a public hearing for 30 days.
