The Appellate Panel of the unconstitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina rejected the defense’s request to recuse two members of the Panel, and presiding judge Vesna Jesenkovi\u0107 explained this by stating that “the request is unfounded.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Goran Bubi\u0107, the lawyer for the President of Republika Srpska, explained the appeal against the first-instance verdict in the case against Milorad Dodik, the unconstitutional Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina requested that the President of Republika Srpska be given a longer prison sentence and security measure, and that the acting director of the “Official Gazette,” Milo\u0161 Luki\u0107, who was acquitted in the first-instance proceedings, be found guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his explanation, Bubi\u0107 requested the annulment of the first-instance verdict and its reclassification as an acquittal or a new trial, and he proposed to the Appellate Panel of the unconstitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to seek advisory assistance from European judicial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Bubi\u0107 emphasized before the Appellate Panel that the appeal relates to the principle of legality and that on July 7, 2023, when the decree was signed, there was no criminal offense of disrespecting decisions in the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubi\u0107 pointed out that among the evidence submitted in the first-instance proceedings, there were no publications on the OHR website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina never submitted evidence that would confirm that Schmidt’s decision was published on the internet page,” Bubi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubi\u0107 stated today that the appeal also relates to the lack of equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the constitutional-legal system of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is not possible for a law enacted at the state level to be in conflict with the constitutions of the entities,” Bubi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goran Bubi\u0107 expects the Appellate Panel of the unconstitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to issue an acquittal in this procedure, emphasizing that all conditions exist for the President of Republika Srpska to be acquitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In this case, any discussion of the Prosecutor’s Office’s appeal is irrelevant,” Bubi\u0107 told reporters in Sarajevo after the session of the Appellate Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
