SARAJEVO, Bosnia (March 21,2008) - The Bosnian President Dr Haris Silajdžić has met with Mr. Sven Marius Urke, the International Member of the Bosnian High Judicial and Prosecution Council. The main topic of the conversation was the need to continue legal reform and preserve reforms that were achieved over the last few years.
Mr. Urke especially turned to the need to include people from the administration of justice and other experts in the Bosnian constitutional reform, once the process has begun, in order to ensure the continuation of reforms in the legal sector.
President Silajdžić agreed with this statement and pointed out that he personally and the SBiH Party have been actively supporting the participation of legal experts in the constitutional reform process in order to avoid bad solutions such as the April package when that kind of help was almost left out.
Mr. Urke also reiterated the need to preserve legal system’s independence and asked President Silajdžić to support efforts for avoiding political influence on that system trough the proposed Law on salaries.
President Silajdžić said that he supports this stance and believes that the salaries of judges and prosecutors in Bosnia should continue to be based on the existing law from 2006, and the proposed law should only refer to the employed in the non-legal institutions of Bosnia.
President Silajdžić promised his influence in changing the law in these and other sections, so that different categories of the Bosnian state officials would be treated appropriately.
