Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Foreign Minister Elmedin Konaković stated tonight that Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, by signing a decree promulgating laws banning the Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) and the Court and Prosecutor's Office of BiH from working on the territory of Republika Srpska, "has become one of the biggest criminals in this country."
He announced that starting tonight, the BiH judicial system "is moving towards those who signed the coup d'état."
"By signing that decree, he committed the most serious crime, and he committed it together with (RS Prime Minister) Radovan Višković, (RS Parliament Speaker) Nenad Stevandić and some other people," Konaković told the Sarajevo-based portal Kliks.
Konaković stated that appeals will be sent to the Constitutional Court of BiH to assess the constitutionality of the adopted laws, emphasizing that, regardless of the decision of the Constitutional Court of BiH, which will certainly protect the constitutional order, this "does not amnesty Dodik, Višković and Stevandić from the most serious criminal offense they committed."
According to him, "it won't be long before the judicial authorities make a decision."
"The judiciary will go after them. They will have to come and give statements or someone will bring them, and if they don't do that, arrest warrants will certainly be issued for them. If they are not available to the prosecution, then that leads them to a situation that no politician in BiH has ever been in," Konaković said.
Dodik signed decrees tonight promulgating laws banning the activities of the Court and Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), the Investigation and Protection Agency of BiH (SIPA), and the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of BiH (HJPC) on the territory of Republika Srpska, and announced that these laws will come into force on Friday.
