The Embassy of the United States of America in Bosnia and Herzegovina reacted to the decision-making in the National Assembly of Republika Srpska and supported the High Representative Christian Schmidt after he used the Bonn powers.
“The decisions of the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska on the adoption of the law on non-execution of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of BiH and amendments to the Law on the publication of laws and other regulations of the RS are unconstitutional and deliberate attacks on the Dayton Peace Agreement, the constitutional order of BiH and the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” they said.
The embassy stated that this attack on Dayton has consequences and that the United States strongly supports the high representative in the use of Bonn powers to defend the Dayton Peace Agreement and protect the Constitutional Court of BiH, which is the guardian of the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“The United States supports the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character of Bosnia and Herzegovina and will continue to hold individuals involved in anti-Dayton behavior accountable for their actions,” they concluded.
