Abstract
In 2020, the department of civil protection and the crisis staff of the Ministries of Health – the state bodies in charge of the management of the crisis caused by the novel coronavirus – found themselves under intense scrutiny. In 2020, these bodies adopted decisions that established different measures to curb the spread of the virus (obligatory mask-wearing, curfews, lockdowns, etc.). However, the decisions and measures have been challenged before the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 2020 was also the year of the local elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Funding the elections depends to a large extent on the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, due to the inability of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina to adopt the budget, the elections have been postponed for the first time since the independence of the country. This has proved to be controversial and has resulted in cases being brought before the Constitutional Court.
