Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Constitutional Court on Friday postponed a decision on the constitutionality of the appointment of the new Republika Srpska (RS) government and its prime minister, Savo Minić, who took office in early September following the resignation of former Premier Radovan Višković.
The court began a two-day plenary session to consider a request from delegates and members of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina seeking a review of the legality of Minić’s appointment, as well as that of all ministers in his cabinet.
While no ruling was made regarding the RS government, the court did declare certain resolutions adopted by the RS National Assembly on 22 August 2025 as unconstitutional. The contested resolutions included decisions related to the mandate of RS President Milorad Dodik.
The Constitutional Court’s deliberations come amid ongoing political tensions in Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina, including disputes over early elections, the autonomy of RS, and broader governance issues.
The court’s decision is closely watched as it could influence the balance of power between the central government and the RS entity and shape the trajectory of the current political crisis.
