A confirmation by a 2\/3 vote of the relevant body will uphold the vital interest and nullify the presidential decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It should be noted that the vital interest provision in Article V differs from the vital interest provision found in Article IV in that members of the Presidency have constitutional authority to protect the vital interests of the Entity from which they are elected while the Parliamentary Assembly has constitutional authority to protect the vital interests of Constituent Peoples. One is based on territorial interests while the other is based on ethnic interests. The territorial and ethnic principles become confused when exercised by the Presidency because the assertion of the vital interest by a member of the Presidency elected from the Federation is voted on by one of the ethnic caucuses within the Federation House of Peoples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the Presidency is unable to achieve consensus on a decision related to powers listed in subparagraphs (a) \u2013 (e), the decision may be taken by two of the three members, unless the dissenting member declares that the decision is destructive of a vital interest of the territory from which he\/she was elected.2801 Assertion of &hellip; <a class=\"text-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":12181,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12183","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Vital Interest - Commentary on BiH Constitution<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Vital Interest - Commentary on BiH Constitution\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If the Presidency is unable to achieve consensus on a decision related to powers listed in subparagraphs (a) \u2013 (e), the decision may be taken by two of the three members, unless the dissenting member declares that the decision is destructive of a vital interest of the territory from which he\/she was elected.2801 Assertion of &hellip; Read&nbsp;more\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commentary on BiH Constitution\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-12-09T16:41:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/flags.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"686\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/\",\"name\":\"Vital Interest - Commentary on BiH Constitution\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-12-09T11:10:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-12-09T16:41:06+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/b-article-v-2-procedures\/vital-interest\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Article V \u2013 The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/ustavbih.ba\/en\/article-v-the-presidency-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"B.
