Bosnia's Top Court Suspends Separatist Laws, Threatening Region's Autonomy
Bosnia's Constitutional Court has suspended laws adopted by Bosnian Serbs that reject federal police and judiciary authority in Republika Srpska region. The move comes after legislation passed by the autonomous republic was deemed unconstitutional.
Bosnia's Constitutional Court has suspended legislation passed by the autonomous Republika Srpska region that rejects the authority of the federal police and judiciary on its territory, dealing a significant blow to separatist laws adopted by Bosnian Serbs. The court's decision marks a major victory for the central government in Bosnia, which had been seeking to rein in regional autonomy. Separatist laws in Republika Srpska have long been a source of tension between the country's three main ethnic groups. The suspension is seen as a significant step towards unity and stability in post-war Bosnia.
