Bosnia Court Bans Republika Srpska Funding for Secessionist Lobbying

Bosnia's constitutional court ruled that Republika Srpska cannot use public funds to pay international lobbying firms promoting its independence, a legal check on secessionist efforts. The ruling is a domestic judicial action, not yet enforced, and its impact depends on compliance by RS authorities, who have previously defied state institutions. This matters as it tests the central state's authority against separatist momentum in Bosnia.
