Bosnia court finds DPM Metals Vareš concession acts unconstitutional, sets six-month review window

• A constitutional court in Bosnia and Herzegovina ruled that federation, cantonal, and municipal authorities lacked the legal authority to grant DPM Metals’ Vareš forest-land concession rights without state-level involvement.
• The ruling creates uncertainty over the legal basis of the concession framework.
• The court decision was published Sept. 30.
• The decision is final and not subject to appeal.
• The ruling does not terminate or suspend the Vareš Concession Agreement or its annexes, so operations continue.
• The court gave authorities six months to review the challenged acts with the Attorney General’s Office.
• Authorities were instructed to set aside any measures found to breach a temporary ban on disposal of state property.
