The 5th Report of Republika Srpska to the United Nations Security Council: Reply toHigh Representative’s Letter and Special Report of 4 May 2011 to the UNSC
“Republika Srpska, a party to all of the annexes that comprise the Dayton Accords, submits
this 5th Report to the United Nations Security Council on the situation in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The Report takes note of the High Representative’s 4 May 2011 letter to the
Security Council and Secretary General of the United Nations and the accompanying “special
report” as well as statements made in the High Representative’s semiannual report to the
Security Council. In this regard, the Government of Republika Srpska must express its
strong objections to these documents. These documents seek to mislead the Council
regarding both the relevant facts and law. To assist the Council in understanding these issues
raised by the High Representative and the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the
Government provides this 5th Report and attaches to this Report three additional documents
that provide detailed analyses relevant to these issues. These documents are entitled
Referenda are Vital Instruments of Democracy, The High Representative’s Assault on
Judicial Independence and The High Representative’s Annulment of the Central Election
Commission’s Decisions is a Gross Violation of the Law and Highly Destabilizing to BiH.
The 5th Report and the attached documents supplement the letter from Republika Srpska
President Milorad Dodik to the United Nations Secretary General and President of the
Security Council, dated 6 May 2011.”
