Members of the House of Representatives from the strongest Serb and Bosnian Croat parties on Tuesday submitted legislation to remove foreign judges from the BiH Constitutional Court.
According to the new proposal, the tripartite Presidency would name three Bosnian nationals to serve as judges in the Constitutional Court. Two would come from the Federation (FBiH) and one would come from the Republika Srpska.
The three judges would have to be members of different ethnic groups and the House of Peoples would then have to confirm their appointment – with more than half of the MPs in each of the three constituent people’s groups voting in favour.
