SARAJEVO, January 17 (FENA) - The Delegation of the European Union to BiH, the Office of the High Representative (OHR) and the US Embassy in BiH, in a joint press release called on the local authorities to complete the process of constitution of the House of Peoples of the FBiH Parliament.
“The efforts of political parties should focus on the establishment of new authorities, starting with the election of delegates to the new FBiH House of Peoples by the cantonal assemblies.
We therefore urge the cantonal assemblies that have not done so to fulfil their constitutional obligations and elect their delegates without further delay.
Having in mind that the general elections have taken place and been certified, the old House of Peoples lacks democratic legitimacy to make decisions, particularly on important issues like the adoption of the budget.
Beside the legal questions concerning such decisions, the adoption of the budget by the old House of Peoples would also set a dangerous precedent, which could be abused to further delay the formation of authorities in BiH, which is unacceptable,” it is said in a joint press release.
The German Embassy in BiH has joined this statement by the EUD/EUSR, the OHR and the US Embassy.
