Ab­stract:

The Con­sti­tu­tion of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na forms an in­te­gral part of the Dayton Pe­a­ce Agre­e­ment, which cre­a­ted the pre­sent sta­te of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na and it is spe­ci­fic in re­la­tion to the con­sti­tu­ti­ons of most co­untri­es in the world. Thus, the Con­sti­tu­ti­o­nal Co­urt, which has the ro­le of pro­tec­tor of the Con­sti­tu­tion of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na, has its own spe­ci­fi­ci­ti­es in re­la­tion to the Con­sti­tu­ti­o­nal Co­u­rts of Sta­tes which the Con­sti­tu­tion pro­tects in that way. One part of the pa­per is an analysis of the or­ga­ni­za­tion and ju­ris­dic­tion of the Con­sti­tu­ti­o­nal Co­u­rt of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na with all its spe­ci­fi­ci­ti­es as well as the de­ci­sion of the co­u­rt with the fo­cus on tho­se de­ci­si­ons re­la­ted to the as­sessment of the con­sti­tu­ti­o­na­lity of norms of le­gi­sla­ti­ve acts in Bo­snia and Her­ze­govi­na that are not in ac­cor­dan­ce with the Con­sti­tu­tion of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na or man­da­tory in­ter­na­ti­o­nal le­gal acts with a fo­cus on the­ir non-exe­cu­ti­on. The se­cond part de­als with cri­mi­nal re­spon­si­bi­lity for non-exe­cu­ti­on of de­ci­si­ons of the Con­sti­tu­ti­o­nal Co­u­rt of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na as well as le­gal mec­ha­nisms in the fun­ction of se­cu­ring the exe­cu­ti­on of de­ci­si­ons of the Con­sti­tu­ti­o­nal Co­u­rt. The an­swers to the qu­e­sti­ons when the­re is cri­mi­nal re­spon­si­bi­lity for non- execu­ti­on of the de­ci­si­ons of the Con­sti­tu­ti­o­nal Co­u­rt of Bo­snia and Her­ze­go­vi­na, to which it spe­ci­fi­cally re­fers and in re­la­tion to such prac­ti­cal ac­ti­ons, we ob­ta­i­ned by analyzing con­cre­te de­ci­si­ons. Thus, we analyzed the de­ci­si­ons of the Con­stitu­ti­o­nal Co­u­rt re­gar­ding the Re­pu­blic of Srp­ska Day and the re­fe­ren­dum in Repu­blic of Srp­ska in 2016.
