The Government of Republic of Srpska adopted today during the continuation of the 13th session which resumed at 3:00 p.m. due to the parliament session, the Information on termination of cooperation with the American and British diplomats in Bosnia and Herzegovina due to the anti-Dayton activities.

The Government of the Republika Srpska has noted that the Republic of Srpska has been forced to end cooperation with the diplomats of both embassies and in this regard it has requested the institutions of Republic of Srpska, representatives of Republic of Srpska in joint institutions at BiH level, local self-government bodies in the Republic of Srpska and other public authorities that they should not cooperate with the embassies of the USA and the United Kingdom. 

The Government of Republic of Srpska is convinced that this kind of action of the US and British embassies is not in accordance with the official policies of the USA and the United Kingdom toward BiH and maintains the position that suspension of cooperation will last until the embassies of the USA and the UK stop the practice of interfering into the internal affairs of BiH.

The Government of Republic of Srpska considers that the obligation of the embassies of the USA and the UK is not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries that applies to Bosnia and Herzegovina as well where they are serve as diplomatic representatives, only.

The Government of Republic of Srpska will inform the respective institutions of the USA and the United Kingdom about the termination of cooperation with the embassies of the US and United Kingdom due to their anti-Dayton activities and violations of international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

The Government of Republic of Srpska will submit the Information on termination of cooperation with the American and British diplomats in BiH due to anti-Dayton activities and submit the conclusion to the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska.

The Government of Republic of Srpska also during the continuation of the 13th session approved the Draft Law on Special Register and Publicity of the Work of non-Profit Organizations.

The Law on Associations and Foundations of the Republic of Srpska regulates the matrers of establishment, registration procedure, internal organization and termination of work but has not regulated the publicity of their work. To date, the Republic of Srpska has not regulated with a special law the area of publicity of the work of non-profit organizations, their political activities, publication of financial reports, keeping of business books, as well as supervision of the legality of work and other provisions on the work of non-profit organizations.

The absence of a law that prescribes the area of publicity of the work of non-profit organizations, their political activities, publication of financial reports, keeping business books, as well as supervision of the legality of work and other provisions on the work of non-profit organizations has created the prerequisites for the collapse of the legal system and constitutional arrangement of the Republic of Srpska and lead to harmful consequences for the work of bodies and organizations of the Republic of Srpska.
