A meeting of leaders of the Troika, HDZ and SNSD was held on Monday evening in Sarajevo in the building of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After the meeting, SNSD President Milorad Dodik stated that they did not agree on anything concrete and that it was not possible to agree because earlier agreements were not respected. He believes that today’s meeting is not over and that he will continue to talk in the next seven days.
“We talked about agreed and unfinished issues that were on the agenda before, and one of those issues is the BiH Budget. The Electoral Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina was also discussed. From our side, we cannot accept him in this way,” said Dodik at the press conference after the meeting.
He promoted changes in the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina, because, according to his explanation, there are formal and legal conditions for that.
“The third question was the Growth Plan related to EU projects. It should be said that we participated on behalf of the RS at the level of the Prime Minister. Of the 113 reforms, 110 were agreed upon. The remaining three are difficult and unacceptable for us. One of them is to abandon the veto at the BiH level. We will not agree to that, it is unacceptable for us, it is a matter of the Constitution, not reform,” stressed Dodik.
He also said that the National Assembly of the RS is demanding responsibility for the speech of the ambassador to the UN, Zlatko Lagumdžija, who raised the issue of adopting the resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica, which, in his opinion, is a “scam”, and that after the eventual adoption of the resolution, “many will things in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be difficult to agree on”
After the meeting, Željka Cvijanović also spoke, who believes that today’s and similar meetings were unsuccessful because, according to her, what was agreed is not being implemented.
“I think that parties that seriously want to exercise power must have the political potential, to implement what they agree to the end. I think we are in a constant deficit because we don’t have partners who can do it,” she said.
Although entity governments discussed the Growth Plan, he believes that additional time should not be wasted, Fena writes.
