The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina still produces a written repair of the verdict sent by Milorad Dodik for non-compliance with the decisions of the High Representative 16 days ago. Although this means that the shortest legal deadline for drafting the verdict, lawyers clarify that it is the usual practice of the State Court and may pass the month and longer.
From the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the detector confirmed that the written dispatch sentencies in the Milorad Dodik etik etik, and that will be developed in the legally prescribed period.
According to the BiH Criminal Procedure Act, the deadline for drafting the first instance verdict is 15 days from the date of the verdict, while in complex things, a period of 30 days may be extremely.
“These are not deadlines whose disrespect or leakage performs any convenience or consequence,” IFET Feraget lawyer is considered.
“If the verdict was not made in these deadlines, judges, ie the President of the Council, will be obliged to inform the president of the court, which is why this is not done, which is given in a member of the Law to Determine and Delivery of the Written Send.
The first instance judgment of Dodik was brought on 26. February, of which 12 working days passed, ie 16, including weekends. The lawyers contacted by the detector confirmed that the days of the weekend were calculated for 15 days.
It was convicted of a year in prison and six years of prohibition of the President of the President, after 1. Amendments to the Law on Publication and other RS regulations, took action with the aim of continuing legislative proceedings, not applying and not implementing the High Representative’s decisions. Other accused Miloš Lukić, the acting director of the “Official Gazette” of the RS, is released.
Feraget explains that the deadline for the preparation of the written sent account from the day of its publication in the courtroom, and that it is quite normal for Dodik’s judgments to be delivered to Dodik’s lawyers at the end of March or even early April. It also notes that in the deadlines for writing the verdict, it is about the so-called instructive deadlines.
“Given the complexity of the subjects working before the Court of BiH, and especially this case and its importance and legal complexity, then it is quite normal for that period to be 30 days, and longer,” Ferageth adds. “
Sabina Mehić lawyer explains that the practice is that the written forms of the verdict are made within 15 to 30 days of the most common they encountered.
“The Frequent Practice of the Court of BiH is to be out of terms of 15 days. Now, is it because I most often work in war crimes cases, where the verdicts are extremely extensive, but in principle nothing beyond practice, “says Mehić.
According to Feraget’s clarification, it is much more important in the practice of the Court that written forms of the verdict have no omissions, which could later produce consequences. The opinion is shared by Mehić, which says that the quality would have to predominate over any deadlines.
“Judges have much more work than only these specific items, so that item was certainly not the only one or Judge Seni Uzunović. Although the public interest is expressed, this does not mean that other items should be waiting, so that the work in the court takes place and past the item Dodik, “Mehić added.
After the Dodik Bar Association will be delivered to the written repair of the verdict, then, but also will the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH be the possibility of appealing against the verdict. From the Court of BiH, the detector state that the law stipulates that the deadline for submitting a complaint is 15 days, but that there is also the possibility of extending the deadline for a month.
Goran Bubić, the Dodik lawyer in the present case, announced that he would appeal, although the laws were made to which the authorities of this entity were not recognized by the BiH Court’s decisions.
“It was adopted before these laws in the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska (NSRS). And such an unexception should not be left in the legal life, “Bubić replied on the detector inquiry.
After the verdict sentenced, the Political crisis performed, after the Ruling Coalition in the NSRS adopted the laws of the State Court and Prosecution, the High Judicial Council of BiH and the State Investigation and Protection (SIPA) in the RS.
The Constitutional Court put these laws out of strength, and the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH has launched an investigation into the criminal offense of “An attack on the Constitutional Order” against Dodik and other RS entity leaders. After refusing to respond to the hearing, the Prosecution also ordered the arrest of Dodik, and RS Prime Minister Radovan Višković and President NSRS Nenad Stevandić.
In addition to these laws, the NSRS adopted the Law on the Protection of the Constitutional Organization and the RS Constitution, among other things, provides greater autonomy to the entity in relation to the state and the possibility of the Republika Srpska Army.
