Sources: 4. Developments: 2. A political dispute has emerged in Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the Commission to Preserve National Monuments and the use of veto powers by the Presidency. Željimir Nešković, a delegate in the House of Peoples, criticized Presidency member Željka Cvijanović for a delayed veto concerning the Commission’s structure and the return of foreign members. Nešković questioned if the five-month delay in exercising the veto was due to negligence or a political attempt to reduce pressure on Milorad Dodik, suggesting Cvijanović failed to act as an institutional representative for Republika Srpska. In response, Anđelina Ošap Gaćanović, a member of the Commission from Republika Srpska, challenged Nešković’s credibility. She pointed to Nešković’s decision to abstain from voting on a parliamentary report regarding irregularities within the Commission. Ošap Gaćanović urged representatives to vote in favor of entity interests to prevent the Commission from becoming a “political instrument of Sarajevo” and to protect Serbian national identity and heritage. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-13: Republika Srpska official criticizes Nešković over heritage protection votes Anđelina Ošap Gaćanović criticized Željimir Nešković for abstaining from votes intended to protect Republika Srpska’s interests and Serbian cultural heritage within the Commission to Preserve National Monuments 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/republika-srpska-official-criticizes-nekovi-over-heritage-protection-votes ### 2026-09-13: Željka Cvijanović faces criticism over delayed veto in Bosnia and Herzegovina Delegate Želimir Nešković criticized Presidency member Željka Cvijanović for a delayed veto on the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments, calling her actions unreliable for Republika Srpska. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/eljka-cvijanovi-faces-criticism-over-delayed-veto-in-bosnia-and-herzegovina --- Cite as: Bosnia and Herzegovina heritage commission dispute.
