The ruling of the “Court of BiH” is an attempt to achieve the wartime goals of the Muslim side and part of the political persecution and campaign against Republika Srpska, personified in the office of the President of the Republic and the figure most trusted by the Serb people in BiH, believes legal expert Slavko Mitrović.
Mitrović pointed out that “Schmidt’s criminal law” is legally nonexistent in multiple ways: under the Dayton Agreement, under the BiH Constitution, which states that the only legislative authority at the BiH level is the Parliamentary Assembly, under Annex 10, under the Bonn conclusions, and even under their subsequent amendments by the OHR.
“How then could the ‘Prosecutor’s Office of BiH’ indict the President of the Republic and the Director of the Official Gazette of Republika Srpska based on the nonexistent law of Christian Schmidt?” Mitrović asked in an op-ed for Glas Srpske.
Mitrović also questioned how the “Court of BiH” could confirm such an indictment and how Judge Sena Uzunović could try and sentence Milorad Dodik to one year in prison, along with removing him from the office of President of the Republic and banning him from holding public office for six years.
- All of this was a task assigned to them by the Muslim side, which in 1992 sacrificed peace, led BiH into a civil war, and lost the right to claim the entirety of BiH. They were left only with the Federation of BiH, which they share with the Croats – Mitrović emphasized.
He stated that Christian Schmidt, who “sneaked into BiH like a dangerous pest,” is not the high representative of the signatory parties and is therefore not recognized as such by Republika Srpska, as well as by China and Russia, which are permanent members of the UN Security Council.
- Considering that the high representative is merely an assistant to the parties, their proxy, he was never granted any authority to impose anything on them – Mitrović stated.
He added that Schmidt, as an unelected and self-proclaimed high representative, imposed the “Decision on Amendments and Supplements to the Criminal Code of BiH,” which stipulates that “any responsible person who fails to apply, implement, execute, or in any other way respect the decision of the high representative for BiH, or who obstructs or otherwise prevents its application, implementation, or execution, shall be punished with imprisonment from six months to five years.”
Additionally, security measures can be imposed, including prohibition from holding office, termination of official duties and employment, revocation of decorations, and a ban on performing duties in legislative, executive, judicial, administrative, or any other bodies, for a period of up to 10 years.
Mitrović argued that, if Christian Schmidt were to declare himself extraordinarily handsome and insist that his name is Rasim, then anyone who fails to acknowledge that could be sent to trial before Sena and sentenced to prison.
He added that such absurdity exists only in BiH in the 21st century.
- But let’s examine whether this could be considered a ‘key law’ even under the forged and amended conclusion of the Bonn PIC? Absolutely not, even if Christian Schmidt were an emperor, a king, or a divine envoy – Mitrović categorically stated.
Mitrović also reminded that the Parliamentary Assembly, which, according to Annex 4 – the BiH Constitution, is the legislative body at the BiH level, never had on its agenda what Schmidt imposed as his criminal law.
On the other hand, Mitrović noted, the National Assembly of Republika Srpska, within its constitutional jurisdiction, passed laws aimed at protecting the BiH Constitution as Annex 4 of the Dayton Agreement.
