MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION BY

THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Despite the fact that the European Commission demands on a
mechanism of coordination seem logical and vital, it can also be
understood as a derogation of the existing institutions of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. In the aftermath of adoption of mechanism of
coordination: How can Bosnia and Herzegovina overcome current
political turmoil without further disrupting its path towards the EU
membership?

The European Youth Parliament,

A. Concerned by the fact that decision-making on the national level is

made using a territory based voting model instead of a voting model that is
in proportion to the population,
B. Emphasizing that Annex IV of the Paris Protocol is outdated and as
such should not be used as a part of the constitutional law,
C. Recognizing the issue that the procedure barrier is working against the
policy development of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
D. Deeply concerned with the inefficiency and lack of transparency of the
Bosnian-Herzegovinian government,
E. Noting with regret the differing levels of implementation of certain laws
vary between the total of 13 different governments,
F. Deeply disturbed by the unacceptable pace of implementation of the
treaty of standardization, due to the lack of a proper mechanism of
coordination,
G. Alarmed by non-democratic veto abuse and its effect on the decisionmaking process,

H. Believing that the decisions made by the Constitutional Court are often
overlooked,
I. Convinced that the overly complicated administrative system is leading
to a confusing chain of command and an excessive number of people on
national pay-rolls;

1. Seeks that all decisions on a national level are made using a voting
model that is in proportion to the population rather than the territory based
voting model currently active;
2. Expresses its hope that the Annex IV of the Paris Protocol would be
revised, in order to make it applicable as a Constitutional document today;
3. Recognizes that the Mechanism of Coordination will simplify and
decrease the time needed for governmental procedures and decision-making;
4. Calls for the implementation of more efficient transparency policies
when it comes to governmental spending, therefore enforcing more effective
budget distribution;
5. Reaffirms that the Mechanism of Coordination makes sure that policies
must be implemented at a national level;
6. Proclaims that the Mechanism of Coordination will fix these issues in
and of itself, since that is its main purpose;
7. Emphasizes the detrimental effects that immoral use of veto power can
have, thus requests limiting the usage thereof;
8. Further invites for the creation of a rule-set determining the conditions
under which veto can be applied;
9. Seeks that the decisions of the Constitutional Court are ratified with
the enactment of the Mechanism of Coordination;
10. Appreciates that a governmental institution, the Council of Ministers,
would survey and observe other administrative bodies when the Mechanism
of Coordination is enacted, therefore setting a chain of command which
would potentially reduce the budgetary deficit and payroll expenditures.
