According to Novosti, the law could be submitted in the BiH Parliament in early 
February. 

The mentioned proposal envisages that anyone who calls a certain collective, 
i.e. BiH, Srpska, the Federation of BiH, Brcko or the cantons genocidal, should 
be sentenced to five years in prison. Anyone who says that any national group 
in BiH is genocidal should end up imprisoned for half a decade. 

However, the key to adopting the mentioned solution, or opening a debate in the 
BiH Parliament, according to "Novosti" sources, is now on the parties from the 
Federation of BiH, primarily Bosniaks, which should decide whether to repeal 
the imposed amendments to the BiH Criminal Code implemented by Valentin Inzko 
and support the debate on a new legal solution in the BiH Parliament. 

Nenad Stevandic, head of the Serbian Club in the BiH Parliament, says for 
"Novosti" that it is realistic to adopt the proposal coming from RS, because it 
is an act that treats all peoples, ethnic groups in BiH, but also the entities 
and the state of BiH. 

"If there is an understanding for equality in the Federation of BiH and the 
Bosniak political corps, the legal solution will be adopted in the BiH 
Parliament. But if they want to continue targeting one people and entity, then 
it will be confirmation that there are no talks with FBiH on equality," he 
said. 

Stevandic points out that Inzko's imposed decision to amend the BiH Criminal 
Code is Europe's greatest shame, because the European Commission has given a 
clear position that the laws are not adopted by the High Representative in BiH 
but by the BiH authorities and the BiH Parliament and added that he expects 
support from RS opposition parties that have representatives in the BiH 
Parliament. 

The Serbian member of the Presidency of BiH, Milorad Dodik, confirmed that 
Srpska will propose a new legal solution on the ban on calling genocidal 
collectives or national groups in BiH. He says RS remains committed to 
withdrawing changes to the Criminal Code imposed by former High Representative 
Valentin Inzko. 

"There is no doubt that he is unacceptable for us. Everything that Inzko 
imposed was aimed at establishing it, accepting it, and then starting an 
avalanche of accusations that RS and the Serbian people are allegedly 
genocidal, after which a political platform would spread around the world - 
that what is genocidal cannot even exist", said Dodik.
