summary
Constitutional Court of BiH strikes down the Foreign Agents Law (Decision U-6/25, May 2025), finding it inconsistent with the BiH Constitution and Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Court rules that 'agents of foreign influence' label and vague restrictions on political activity are not necessary in a democratic society. RS Constitutional Court confirms annulment on January 28, 2026, halting its own review as the law had already ceased to apply. Law fully annulled — first documented constitutional reversal of a Track 1 civic-finance restriction in the database.

notes
Direct sequel to BIH-023 (enactment) and BIH-015 (original proposal). First case in database documenting Track 1 restriction successfully reversed through constitutional challenge. Court explicitly rejected the NF-01 legal frame — analytically significant for counter-narrative architecture.
