FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, January 31 (FENA) - In today's session, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared that it does not have jurisdiction for the review of the constitutionality of the Instructions of the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CEC BiH) on the manner of distribution of the mandates in the House of Peoples of the Parliament of the Federation of BiH upon the request of the 27 deputies of the SDA, said Zlatko Knežević, President of the Constitutional Court of BiH, N1 reports.

The agenda of the Plenary Session of the Constitutional Court, the case U-24-18, i.e. included the request of 27 deputies of the House of Representatives of the Federation of BiH Parliament for the review of the constitutionality of the Instruction on Amendments to the Instructions on the Procedure for the Implementation of Indirect Elections for the institutional bodies in Bosnia and Herzegovina covered by the Election Law of BiH.

Knežević explained that the CEC instruction remains in force until it is challenged by some other competent authority.

“The Constitutional Court has certain competencies under the Constitution of BiH and it is trying to emphasize that all institutions should do their job. We said that this does not fall under our jurisdiction, which means that the CEC has done its job. Which institution is to challenge this decision in the future is not our matter to decide. As a citizen, all I can say that the cantons need to complete the procedure and that the process of forming the authorities should be brought to an end,” said Knežević.
