		Republika Srpska (Serbian: Ð ÐµÐ¿ÑÐ±Ð»Ð¸ÐºÐ° Ð¡ÑÐ¿ÑÐºÐ° or Republika Srpska (), also Ð¡ÑÐ¿ÑÐºÐ° or Srpska; Bosnian and Croatian: Republika Srpska; English: Republic of Srpska, Republika Srpska or Serb Republic) is one of the two political entities that together compose the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina; the other entity is the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
		The legal existence of Republika Srpska was postulated by the Agreed Basic Principles issued on September 8 1995, and the Further Agreed Basic Principles issued on September 26 1995, and was confirmed by the Dayton Peace Agreement.
		After the war, Republika Srpska retained its army, but in August 2005, under considerable foreign pressure (acting primarily through the Office of the High Representative), the parliament consented to transfer control of Army of Republika Srpska to a state-level ministry and abolish the Republic's defense ministry and army by January 1, 2006.

		Republika Srpska President Dragan Cavic said the court ruling should not be dramatized.

		Majority obstruction in a variety of guises, particularly in Republika Srpska and Croat-controlled areas of the Federation, served as a powerful disincentive, and in some cases simply prevented, the return of younger adults with children, who would be more likely to create an enduring minority presence.
		This was the case in eastern Republika Srpska’s Visegrad, for example, where large numbers of displaced ethnic Serbs occupied the homes of Muslims who fled Visegrad at the beginning of the Bosnian war.
		Thus, while Visegrad’s hard-line municipal government acquiesced under international-community pressure to the return of some 170 Bosnian Muslims to their abandoned villages on the outskirts of Visegrad in the second half of 2000, it resolutely opposed minority returns to Visegrad-proper, which would have resulted in evictions of displaced ethnic Serbs.

	Failure to Arrest Radovan Karadzic Gravely Undermines Municipal Elections (Human Rights Watch, 12-9-1997)
		His continued domination of the ruling SDS (Srpska Demokratska Stranka) party through his deputies, is evidenced by his attempts to remove Plavsic from office when she accused him and his top officials of corruption.
		Aleksa Buha, Republika Srpska foreign minister, refers to himself as the "acting head" of the SDS in deference to Karadzic's role.
		On August 15, the Republika Srpska constitutional court (the highest entity court) ruled that Plavsic acted illegally when she dissolved the Republika Srpska parliament on July 3, following signs that Krajisnik and Karadzic, in league with others, were planning to oust her from the presidency of the Republika Srpska.

	Implementing Property Taxation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
		Both the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska have reasonably good cadastral records considering their 40 years of socialism, the nationalization of property, and the effects of war.
		The first step would be to develop a form that asks for the name of the occupant, a cadastral identification number, the location of the property, the area of the land, the size of improvements to the land, and the use of the land.
		Once the municipalities have compiled the property information, it should be audited for accuracy and completeness by comparing information on the forms with similar information contained in the records of the electric and gas utilities.

	Bosnia-Hercegovina: The Continuing Influence of Bosnia’s Warlords
		Almost a year after the Dayton Peace Agreement was signed, and in the very presence of IFOR soldiers and the International Police Task Force (IPTF), the non-Serb residents of Doboj and Teslic are still subject to the kind of psychological and physical terror that existed during the height of the war in 1992-1994.
		This report offers evidence that the national and local political leadership of the Republika Srpska as well as the state organs and agencies under its control—including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the local police force, and the VRS—are responsible for directing, aiding and abetting continuing human rights abuses in post-Dayton Bosnia-Hercegovina on an RS-wide scale.
		The granting of any kind of reconstruction assistance to the entity of the Republika Srpska should be linked to strict respect for human and minority rights and the creation of real return options by the Bosian Serb authorities for non-Serbs.
