The Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by Serbian people elected from the Republika Srpska, has sent a letter to the European Parliament and the US Congress, presenting their view on the political situation in the country. The letter highlights the importance of the Dayton structure and mechanisms established by the Dayton Peace Agreement for the stability of BiH, as the management policies and prevailing views of the world of the three constituent nations are „very different.” The letter also criticises the Constitution of BiH from foreign actors who claim to be centralising BiH contrary to the Constitution of BiH and opposes further erosion of the Constitution.

The authors argue that the RS continues to support BiH’s efforts to become a member of the European Union and implement necessary reforms. They believe that the replacement of foreign judges is one of the 14 key priorities for the European integration of BiH and that this reform must be completed without delay. The letter also condemns the imposition of changes to the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which establishes prison sentences for non-implementation of decisions of the High Representative. They claim that the National Assembly of the RS adopted a law suspending the publication of OHR decisions in the Official Gazette of the RS in response to „lawlessness”.

The authors also claim that BiH has been a haven for „radical Islamists” for a long time, with the largest party representing the majority national group in BiH being explicitly Islamist in its ideology. They also mention villages in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina where residents implement Shariah law and that parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina inhabited by Bosniaks are still home to numerous „sleeper cells of Al Qaeda and ISIL.”

The authors believe that the current war in the Gaza Strip will worsen the situation and bring new security problems to the country.
