Summary/Abstract: The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued a Decision number 2/11 which states that the submitted claim is groundless, and that the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska, in it’s act regarding adoption of the Budget for 2011. and its Decision of the Execution of the Budget of the Republika Srpska for 2011, did not violated provisions of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which prescribe obligation of entities and other administrative units to respect Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, laws at the state level as well as decision of government institutions. The Constitutional Court in its explanation states that by adoption of the disputed documents, the provisions of the Law at the state level in the field of indirect taxation have not been violated. However, the applicant has never mentioned the fact that the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska had violated the provisions of the law in the field of indirect taxation. Instead it is only mentioned the violation of procedure prescribed by the Law on Fiscal Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
