Such a system, according to critics, both at home and abroad, is a boon for criminals, who can easily flee across inter-entity boundaries that the ethnically separated police are not allowed to cross.
Takav sistem, kažu njegovi kritičari kako u zemlji, tako i u inostranstvu, pogoduje kriminalcima, koji lako mogu da pobegnu preko međuentitetskih granica koje policija podeljena po nacionalnom ključu ne sme da pređe.
