The commentary “Continuing Discrimination with Judicial Means: Logical Acrobatics and Absurdities of the Second Instance Decision in the Case of ‘Two Schools under One Roof,’“ written by Aleksandra Ivanković-Tamamović, offers an analysis of the recently adopted decision of the Cantonal Court in Mostar by which the first instance judgment of the Municipal Court in Mostar from 2012, which established that organizing lectures based on the principle of ethnicity discriminated against children in the divided schools of the Hercegovina-Neretva Canton, was annulled and the complaint itself was dismissed on procedural grounds.
