EU willing to discuss judicial reforms in BiH, if RS gives up on referendum

The EU would be willing to discuss judicial reforms in BiH if Republika Srpska (RS) postpones or revokes its decision to hold a referendum, Charge d’Affaires of the European Delegation to BiH Boris Iarochevitch said on Tuesday (May 10th). High Representative Valentin Inzko set Thursday as a deadline to drop the referendum plan. The RS parliament decided on April 13th to call a referendum on High Representative-imposed laws, particularly on the BiH Court and Prosecutor’s Office, claiming the two institutions are biased against Serbs.
