Republika Srpska prime minister Zeljka Cvijanovic said that the new RS bill of residence, adopted by the RS cabinet this week, is “fully harmonised with European regulations and standards.” The RS decided to move forward with the bill after a similar measure failed at the BiH level.
[PM Cvijanovic] added that the said bill was drafted in consultation with people from the EU. “I am sorry that the bill was not adopted at the BiH level when it should have been adopted, but, in any case, I don’t know why our law would jeopardise anyone,” Cvijanovic said.
She said that a similar situation occurred with the bringing of a law on the single personal ID number in BiH.
“If the only way to unblock such things is for Republika Srpska to bring them, then we will do so, since this is in the interest of citizens. We do not want such important things to serve for manipulation and political disputes at the BiH level,” Cvijanovic said.
She said that IC representatives are inclined to wrongfully interpret everything that is happening in BiH, and added that there won’t be problems to “deregulate” certain things in Republika Srpska once they are regulated at the BiH level.
