SARAJEVO, December 3 (FENA) - Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Šefik Džaferović announced last night in an interview for N1 television that the legal reaction of BiH to the agreement between Serbia and the BiH entity of Republika Srpska on the construction of power plants on the Drina River is in the course of preparation.
Commenting on the meeting of the Peace Implementation Council and answering a question on when the High Representative would leave Bosnia and Herzegovina, Džaferovič said that the High Representative would not be leaving until the 5 + 2 conditions are met.
According to him, the condition that speaks of a functional state is far from being met.
"In order for the High Representative to leave, the Constitution must be changed, all possibilities of blockades must be removed, and only then he can leave, and he cannot do that without a decision of the parliament. Mechanisms will have to be installed on how to defend the state, that is the task of the High Representative, it is his job," he said.
Džaferović said that the issue of state property has not been resolved yet and that it must be resolved by decisions of the Constitutional Court.
"When it comes to the planned construction of hydropower plants on the Drina Rivert, it all goes against the Constitution and we will fight it, and the High Representative cannot leave having this issue unresolved as well.
Those who advocate for him to leave behave in such a way to make sure the High Representative never leaves," Džaferović added and commented on the signing of a joint statement on the construction of three hydropower plants in the upper Drina River basin between Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić and the RS Prime Minister Radovan Višković underlining that it was all unconstitutional.
"We have a state law on concessions, then a decision of the Constitutional Court that talks about state property and inland navigation. The Drina River is an international river, it is navigable, it is a border river and it is not possible to build anything without the decision of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina," underlined the Presidency member Šefik Džaferović for N1.
