Bosnia High Representative Breaks Deadlock in Federation Entity – Again

The High Representative to Bosnia has used his substantial "Bonn powers" to ensure government formation in the country's Federation entity, imposing new changes to its constitution on Thursday. This was Christian Schmidt's second intervention to the constitution in less than seven months.

Officially, it takes effect today

Today, these provisions come into force.
According to the information available on the website of the Office of the High Representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the law enters into force eight days after its publication on the OHR website or the day after its publication in the BiH Official Gazette, whichever comes first.

"Serbia has no rights"

Dzaferovic believes that Serbia has no rights when it comes to the appointment of the High Representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina and that the only obligation that Serbia has under the Dayton Agreement is to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia-Herzegovina by "not taking any action that would violate those values of BiH in any way".
