The President of the National Assembly said that the Constitution of Srpska is its foundation and the best reason for its maintaining.

“The Constitution of the Republic of Srpska keeps being its foundation no matter of the fact it was amended 120 times. The continuous efforts for keeping the Constitution are still present because the attacks on the Republic of Srpska have not stopped until today” emphasized President Čubrilović for News Agency of the Republic of Srpska on the occasion of 27 years since the enactment of the first Constitution of the Republic of Srpska.

President Čubrilović said that the then deputies made visionary act enacting the Constitution that have existed until then.

“Some people in BiH are not satisfied with the notion that we in the Republic of Srpska have our Constitution and it exists for so long and that we act in accordance with that Constitution, so they attack by amending it and the dates we celebrate. I hope that the representatives of the Republic of Srpska will remain principled in the defense of the Constitution and our powers and that Srpska will strengthen in every way, which is a prerequisite for a good life of citizens,” stressed President Čubrilović.

Speaking on the amendments on the Constitution which are not still incorporated because of the blockade of the Bosnian representatives in the Council of Peoples of the Republic of Srpska, President Čubrilović said that these were involved in enacting of the new one and issues like the death sentence to be abolished are to be incorporated.

“For the change of the Constitution consensus must have to exist regarding political parties from the Republic of Srpska but also of other subjects. It would be good to reach a new Constitution but not at every price if there are no real conditions for this" Čubrilović said.
