BOSNIAN PARLIAMENT ADOPTED AMENDMENTS TO LAW ON LEGAL PROCEDURES AT BOSNIAN STATE COURT

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (26.September,2007) - The Bosnian Parliament did not accept at a session in Sarajevo Bill Amending the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions, Imprisonment and Other Disciplinary Measures.

Delegates adopted Bill Changing the Law on Competition which defines that after passing the decision on initiation of procedures, the Bosnian Competition Council is obliged to pass the final solution within three instead of the past 6-month period.

Changes and Amendments to the Law on Legal Procedures at the Bosnian State Court have been adopted. It has been agreed that in the first instance procedure, one judge, not the Bosnian State Court’s Council of Judges made up of three members, is to be at trial.

The Bosnian Court initiated changes and amendments to this law. This was done for the purpose of adjustment of the Bosnian judiciary system to the EU standards.

Delegates did not accept the proposal of the Bosnian Council of Ministers to urgently discuss the Bill Changing the Law on the Bosnian Customs Tariff. The Bill enables the import of 100.000 tons of wheat without customs for the needs of the reserves.
