 In a significant development for Bosnia and Herzegovina, in February 2025, the Constitutional Court suspended the controversial Emblem Law Amendments allowing the use of foreign state symbols alongside the symbols of Republika Srpska in public institutions and official documents. This is one of the latest legal maneuvers challenging the constitutional framework established by the Dayton Peace Agreement. Moreover, it highlights Republika Srpska’s ongoing efforts to redefine its relationship with the central state, risking deepening ethnic divisions.
