The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina found that Davor Dragičević, David Dragičević's father, had his human rights and fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the B&H Constitution and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms violated.

The appeal, which was accepted, was filed by the lawyer Ifet Feraget, who represents the Dragičević family.

In a brief information, the Constitutional Court of B&H states that a decision on Davor Dragičević's appeal established a violation of the right to life.

In the circumstances of the present case, there is a violation of the appellant's right when the District Public Prosecutor's Office in Banja Luka took 100 days to "define" the criminal offense in respect of which there are grounds for suspicion and to issue a formal order to conduct an investigation, which is still ongoing even after three years since the event - states the Constitutional Court of B&H.

The full decision is not yet available to the public.

By the way, Davor Dragičević's appeal was filed in 2019 and was on the agenda of the session of the Grand Council several times. Although the appeal was considered earlier, it is now the first time a decision has been made on it.
