The Government of Republic of Srpska approved today at its 51st session held in Banja Luka the Proposal of the Law on Residence and Abode in Republic of Srpska.
The rationale for getting this Law through is related to the necessity to overcome the legal gap and the current situation which was generated due to failure to adopt this Law at the level of BiH and to regulate this matter in more detailed manner. 
The proposed Law creates the legal framework which would on one hand enable all citizens to exercise their rights granted by the Constitution and on the other would make it possible for all relevant bodies to apply its legal and constitutional competences. 
The failure to adopt the Law on Residence and Abode of Citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina as one of crucial legal acts which enables citizens to exercise their rights granted by the Constitution, led to uncertainty and legal insecurity.
As it was reasonable to expect that the Law on Residence and Abode would not be adopted at the level of BiH any time soon, the RS Government began to work on the Law on Residence and Abode in Republic of Srpska in order to enable the RS citizens to exercise their constitutional rights in full capacity.

The Ministry for Economic Relations and Regional Cooperation and the Ministry of Administration and Local Self-Government were instructed to propose one candidate each who would together with the designated civil servant from the RS Civil Service Agency be responsible for coordination and implementation of activities during cooperation with the Regional School of Public Administration.
