The delegations of the parties that form the government at the state level agreed yesterday to form a working group that will work on changes to the Election Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which is part of the coalition agreement, but also a task that the international community left to local politicians.
After the meeting, the presidents of HDZ, Dragan Covic, SDP, Nermin Niksic, and SNSD, Milorad Dodik, addressed the media. It was said that they discussed the future dynamics of the new government at the state level, as well as inevitable electoral reforms.
“Today we also agreed to assign one person each to start preparing the Electoral Law, and we did. It is possible that the first part will be related to the Central Election Commission (CEC), the mechanism for conducting the elections, but all other topics will also come up because our obligation is to bring it within six months after the establishment of the news,” Covic said yesterday.
Moreover, Covic stated that the team for the preparation of amendments to the Election Law consists of Nerin Dizdar from the SDP, Sredoje Novic from the SNSD, and Darijana Filipovic from the HDZ.
The goal of yesterday’s meeting was, as Covic said, to try to create “a more acceptable and effective environment for the work of the executive authorities in BiH and the Federation of BiH (FBiH)”.
“It seems to me that with more or less problems, it is going reasonably well and that a dynamic has been achieved in the Council of Ministers and in the Parliament. Decisions are already made unanimously in the Council of Ministers, it just needs to be dynamized now. Where we are a bit stuck is in the parliamentary work, we still need to work a bit more to feel the parliamentary majority regardless of what the topic is. I believe that we will create that climate of trust, if we are not in agreement on some topic, we don’t have to put it in the foreground,” he concluded, Klix.ba reports.
