The adoption of the first Constitution of the Republic of Srpska on February 28, 1992, formalized the political and democratic struggle of the Serbian people in the then Bosnia and Herzegovina, the struggle for their rights and survival in this region.

The awareness of the political representatives of Serbs at those times and the strength to present such a significant document is unmeasurable. Then, as today, the significance of that decision is multifold. The Constitution that was adopted then was and remained the framework within which the Serbian people preserved their rights and freedoms.

This date confirmed the fact that the Serbian people are a constitutional people, a people that respected and implemented the Constitution of both the former SFRY, as well as today's BiH. Both then and today, the intentions of others were not the same as the intentions of the Serbian people, the outvoting that we experienced then is what we experience today, the principles of dismantling the constitutional framework have remained exactly the same, and that is the space of BiH without Serbs, with only one people, according to the principle of one person, one vote.

Thanks to the decisions of Serb political representatives back in Fbruary 1992, which enabled us to have our own Constitution, the Constitution of the Republic of Srpska, we can today guarantee all rights and freedoms in the Republic of Srpska to our people and all citizens. That is why we must remain resolute in defending the Republic of  Srpska.

Without the Republic of Srpska and its institutions, there is no Serbian people in BiH, that is the fact, an undeniable truth that we face every day.

The unconstitutional verdict against the institution of the President of the Republika Srpska is a proof and confirmation that history repeats itself, but at the same time it is confirmation and encouragement for us to fight stronger for our rights, for our freedom, and that means the fight for the Constitution.
