The new Draft Constitution, passed by Republika Srpska on March 13, is an attempt to shield Republika Srpska President Dodik from criminal responsibility. RENA HÄNEL explains how Dodik uses legal reform to defy the constitutional order of BiH: verfassungsblog.de/dodik-secess...

The Draft Constitution represents the consolidation of years-long institutional power struggles, pushes for secession, and attempts to weaken political opposition.

Friedrich Merz announced re-introduction of border controls in Germany "on his first day as Kanzler". This will be difficult now as the Higher Administrative Court of Bavaria quashed the existing border controls as in violation of EU law. Prepare your popcorn: www.lto.de/recht/nachri...
