Bosnian Serb lawmakers vote to suspend rulings of Bosnia's top court

SARAJEVO: Lawmakers in Bosnia's autonomous Serb Republic voted on Tuesday to suspend rulings by Bosnia's constitutional court, a move described by experts as a"legal secession" that is set to deepen political divisions in the volatile Balkan country.

The lawmakers also agreed that Serb representatives in state institutions would not take part in any talks on reforms needed for Bosnia's integration into the European Union until the constitutional court had been reformed and the office of an international peace overseer had been closed down. Three of the nine court members are appointed by the president of the European Court of Human Rights and six by regional parliaments.

Dodik, who has long called for the secession of his region from Bosnia, announced that he might also seek to suspend the work of Bosnia's state court, prosecution and the state police agency SIPA in the Serb Republic.
