New RS government appointment moves to Constitutional Court

A joint committee of the Republika Srpska (RS) parliament and the Council of Peoples on Tuesday (January 11th) failed to reach a compromise over a decision by the Bosniak caucus to block the appointment of the entity’s new government. The issue moves to the Constitutional Court. The Bosniak bloc in RS’s Council of Peoples stopped the appointment of the new government citing a breach of the right of all constituent people to equal representation in BiH institutions. The old government will continue to perform its functions until the Court rules on the case.
