ZUBAK WARNS ABOUT VIOLATIONS OF DAYTON CONSTITUTION

ZAGREB, May 29 (Hina) - Bosnian Federation President Kresimir Zubak on Wednesday warned the Parliament of the Republic of Bosnia- Herzegovina that several laws it had recently passed were in violation of the Bosnian Federation Constitution and the Dayton Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina. In a letter addressed to President of the Parliament Miro Lazovic, Zubak said several members had warned about the violation of the Constitution during the debate, but were overruled. "This has shown once again that majority decision-making in a multi-ethnic community only serves as a screen for the domination of the more numerous nation over the less numerous, regardless of the principles of constitutionality and legality," the letter said. Federal Constitutional Court had no jurisdiction over the violations of the Dayton Constitution, Zubak said, warning Lazovic that the laws in question would not be implemented in certain parts of the Bosnian Federation. "Attempts at usurping the authority of Federal bodies by institutions of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina will not succeed and may have multiple negative consequences," the letter warned.
