The National Assembly of Republika Srpska has approved a new government, led by Prime Minister Savo Minič. According to RTRS television, 50 deputies voted in favor of the government. According to legal experts, the new government is not legal, as Minič was appointed as prime minister by the dismissed president of the entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milorad Dodik.
Radio Free Europe reports that Republika Srpska has received an unconstitutional government. According to the media outlet, the new government has no constitutional basis, as the mandate was given to Minic on August 23 by Milorad Dodik, who five days earlier, by a decision of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ceased to be the president of Republika Srpska.
The National Assembly of the Republika Srpska today voted for the new RS government headed by Savo Minic. There were 51 votes in favor and 1 against, out of 55 present. As written by N1 Sara
