At the same time, the announcements and decisions on the establishment of parallel institutions at the entity level are, to say the least, unconstitutional, and in the social view of the situation, extremely dangerous and undermine the state order of BiH. [...] It is also necessary to point out Dodik's announcements of withdrawing the army, restructuring the armed forces, relying on the support of Serbia, and the decision at the level of the Republic of Srpska for non-implementation of changes to the state Criminal Code imposed by the High Representative.
