BANJA LUKA, MARCH 31 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska, i.e. the constitutional bodies represented personally by the Presidents of the Republic Milorad Dodik, National Assembly Speaker Nenad Stevandić and Prime Minister Radovan Višković, hold demanding position to defend themselves against injustice with the law, especially in running away from reality circumstances, says lawyer Goran Bubić.
Bubić emphasized that law should follow reality, which is not happening because facing reality is meeting the truth that an illegitimate foreigner cannot be a legislator and that foreigners cannot try indefinitely in the Constitutional Court of BiH, while the truth does not suit everyone.
"It is also true that by handing over sovereignty to an illegitimate foreigner /Christian Schmidt/, the state deprived itself of the monopoly of physical coercion. This fundamental element of power, thus sovereignty, cannot be in the hands of foreigners, but in the hands of the constitutional authorities of BiH," stated Bubić in the author's text for Glas Srpske.
Likewise, says Bubić, in the criminal proceedings against the president of Republika Srpska, the Court of BiH was avoiding reality over Schmidt-related circumstances, i.e. there was a lack of factual premise in the process of trial and ruling.
"The consequence is the current situation that can only be resolved by local stakeholders. Likewise, the issue of the political representation of Republika Srpska in the constitutional bodies at the BiH level is no longer an issue of mere authority, knowledge, real or apparent power, but it is important that the outstanding issues of constitutionality, jurisdiction and property are resolved in agreement with political representatives who have the majority legitimacy of the people in the constitutional bodies of Srpska. This can lead to real and thus long-term solutions," added Bubić.
He assessed that pleading for a constitutional BiH is generally not heard.
"We are witnessing the consequences of long-term political greed in the devastation of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH, which cannot be addressed to Republika Srpska. That is why outstanding issues need to be discussed only by elcted representatives of the people in the Federation of BiH and the representatives of the constitutional bodies of Srpska. The instruments of the non-existent criminal law are likely to be a dead end both in the short and long term," concluded Bubić.
