CLAIM: In the future, political parties will still be able to play “budget games” with election financing despite the High Representative’s 07 June decisions.

FACT: The decisions issued by the High Representative on 07 June 2022 ensure that both temporary financing of the State budget and the funding of elections no longer require a decision by the BiH Council of Ministers, they are both automatic.

Therefore, the financing of elections, the functioning of State institutions, and the payment of State employee’s salaries will never be put in question again due to the absence of the adoption of a State budget.
