 East European Constitutional Review
The High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereafter, HR), the chief executive officer for the international civilian presence in the country, has found it necessary to bypass the elected parliamentary assembly in matters supposedly within its competence and to remove elected officials.(1) He now is proposing to place controls upon the press.
