The Draft Framework Law on Higher Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina, wherein the possibility of using one or more languages of the constituent peoples and the manner of enactment of the statutes of the higher education institutions is envisaged, is destructive to the vital interest of the Croat people. The Constitutional Court finds that the manner in which the Framework Law, in Articles 13, 18 and 35, provides for the use of only one or two official languages in the higher education institutions and the statute-making process of the higher education institution, is destructive to the vital interest of the constituent peoples, i.e. Croat people in this case, since it does not provide for the possibility of equal use of the official languages of all three constituent peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Declaration of the Croat Caucus in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the destructiveness of the Draft Law on the Public Broadcasting System of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the vital interest of the Croat people does not meet the requirements of procedural regularity, as the Draft Law on the Public Broadcasting System of Bosnia and Herzegovina is not destructive to the vital interest of the Croat people in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are no grounds for concluding that by the Draft Law the Croat people in Bosnia and Herzegovina are discriminated against when compared with two other constituent peoples, and therefore the proposed Draft Law is not destructive to the vital interest of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina with regards to the alleged discrimination against the representation of their language, culture and traditional heritage in the programs of the public broadcasters. It was not necessary to define in the Law the composition of the Board with respect to representation of the constituent peoples and Others.

The Constitutional Court concludes that the Draft Legislation Amending the Law on Conflict of Interest in Governmental Institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina number 01.02-02-1-23/13 of 20 May 2013, insofar as the part providing for the establishment and composition of the Commission to decide on conflicts of interest at the State level is concerned, does not provide for any provision placing any of the constituent peoples in a more favourable or unfavourable position, in the instant case the Bosniac people.
