The vote is a strong positive signal to Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik.
Bosnia and in Herzegovina, lawmakers in the autonomous republic of Serbia voted on Friday to partially secede from the rest of the country, Reuters reports.
In a vote in the House of Representatives, legislators sided with the armed forces, the judiciary and the tax system. These three pillars of society represent Bosnia and Herzegovina’s common security, justice and economic systems.
Presentation according to the regional government, the next step is to create new laws on the armed forces, the tax and judicial system. The laws were given six months to create and replace the laws of the central government.
However, Parliament’s vote was not unanimous, as Serbian opposition groups criticized it, among other things, as just an election trick for next year’s general election. For this reason, members of the opposition left the sitting before the matter came to the vote.
Despite opposition to the boycott, the vote is a strong positive signal for the Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodikille. Dodik, a member of the tripartite presidential system, has opposed, among other things, the country’s legal system, saying it has no basis in the country’s constitution.
“This is the moment of the liberation of the Republic of Serbia. Bosnia is an experiment … I don’t think it can survive because it doesn’t have the internal capacity to survive, “Dodik said in a speech to Parliament.
Opposition leaders have warned that Dodik’s disintegration of the country’s tripartite system could lead to a new war.
“I think the path you have chosen for the Republic of Serbia is dangerous and we cannot follow you,” said Srpska demokratska stranka, the leader of the main opposition party. Mirko Šarović.
In The 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement ended a three-and-a-half-year war between Bosnian Serbs, Croats and Bosnians. The country was then divided into two autonomous parts along ethnic lines: the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska.
The Yugoslav break-up war of 1992-1995 was the worst war in Europe since World War II. An estimated one hundred thousand people died in the war, and two million people were forced to flee their homes.
