    Zeljka Cvijanovic, as President of Republika Srpska, is working with Milorad Dodik (also designated under the Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020) to undermine the territorial integrity, international personality or constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through enacting the unilateral transfer of state competencies from the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Republika Srpska, signing into law the legislative steps to begin to degrade/destroy state institutions as well as establishing an independent tax authority, medical agency, and army in the Republika Srpska. Cvijanovic’s actions are unconstitutional and go against the central tenets of the Dayton Peace Agreement as well as undermine the state’s competences in security.
