The Senate of Republika Srpska (Serbian Cyrillic: Сенат Републике Српске, romanized: Senat Republike Srpske) is consultative body of the highest constitutive institutions of Republika Srpska, an entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its organization and functions are regulated with the Constitution of the Republika Srpska and Law on the Senate of Republika Srpska. According to the initial text of the law of 1997 only Serbs could be appointed as members of the senate. The European Commission for Democracy through Law reported in 2001 that this was abrogate discriminatory and obviously unconstitutional.[1] The law has been changed in 2010 and allowed people of any ethnicity to be appointed as members of the senate.
