Developments in Republika Srpska, EU remains concerned! Funds suspended for two
The High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schmidt, has suspended all budget funds intended for financing the SNSD and United Srpska political parties, allocated to all levels of government in BiH.

On this occasion, the Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina stated:

“Regarding the High Representative's decision of 24 April to suspend the allocation of budgetary funds for party financing purposes, the European Union recalls that recent laws and initiatives in the entity of Republika Srpska undermine both the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the functioning of state-level institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while also threatening the fundamental freedoms of all citizens.

"The European Union remains concerned about developments in Republika Srpska and is working closely with its partners. Actions directed against territorial integrity, sovereignty and constitutional order will lead to serious consequences."

"Following the European Council's decision in March 2024 to open accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, the European Union calls on all political actors to refocus the country's efforts on achieving progress along the European path. Progress on the European path represents the best guarantee of stability and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with multiple benefits for the citizens of this country."
