I will write later on about what I would do when I have time, but lets see your opinion right now.
When the dissolution happenned I would do what South Park the movie told me!
Blame Canada.just kidding. I would have:
- put in a new constitution. That constitution would basically make the federal state responsible for defence (abolished republic responsibilities for defense), foreign affairs, minority/human rights and intereconomic relations.
- Their would be no overlap of jurisdiction unlike in the SFRY constitution.
- The republics could have their own reperesentation in most international organization.
- The presidency seats of Kosovo and Vojvodina would be abolished, the autonomy of Vojvodina abolished and that of Kosovo would have remained relatively the same with some powers taken away.
- I would combine the post of prime minister and president into 1 post and decreased the powers of this post.
- The federal government would consist of 6 posts each one referred to as a commissar. The 6 posts would be- 1. the combined president/prime minister, 2. intereconomic relations commissar, 3. defense commissar, 4. foreign affairs commissar, 5. NBJ director, 6. Minority and Human rights commissar.
- Since the other republics complained of Serbs and Montenegrins being dominant in the army I would put into the law that the defense ministers could not be from Serbia or Montenegro.
- The federal parlaiment would consist of 1 unicameral branch. In this unicameral parlaiment the seats would be distributed like this: 3 seats to Montenegro, 5 seats to kosovo (with 4 guarantted to Albanians), 20 seats to the rest of Serbia, 13 seats to Croatia, 12 seats to Bosnia, 5 seats to Slovenia, 5 seats to FYROM. A certain number of additional seats would be guaranteed to certain minority groups.
- The federal parlaiment would have little to do hence why it would be unicameral and at least 63 seats. The legislature woulld be chosen by republican legislatures (provincial for Kosovo seats). The legislature under law would have to meet only once a year.
- the military. would be largely decommission. the military would be renamed "self-defense force" and the republican territorial defense forces would be abolished.
- I would give up 50% of soveriegn control of territorial waters to the republics with land boundaries.
- economic policy would be republican based but the intereconomic rrelations commissar would have some power in this sphere in order to keep a common market.
- The federal government would have responsibility over customs policy. However, customs revenue would go to the republic or province they were raised in.
- Type of government. Federally a republic. Republican level it would be up to the republic to decide. Shopuld a republic choose to introduce some form of monarchy the monarchy would have no jurisdiction in other republics.
