In Case No. U 5\/98, the Constitutional Court made clear that in the case of possible inconsistencies between the basic principles and subsequent text of the Constitution, the text of the Constitution would prevail. The Republika Srpska tried to challenge such supremacy of the Constitution by claiming that it was stated in the Geneva Basic Principles of 8 September 1995 that \u201ceach Entity will continue to exist under its present Constitution\u201d. In response, the Constitutional Court rightfully indicated the remaining part of the text which reads: \u201cas amended to accommodate these basic principles\u201d.
