Officials from the executive branch of HDZ Bosnia and Herzegovina met at the 34th meeting in Stolac today to analyze election results. They also discussed the Government of the Republic of Croatia’s current support for Bosnia and Herzegovina, continued cooperation, and investments in science and local community development.
Filipović: The Constitution of Assemblies Follows
After the certification of the election results and the completion and confirmation of appeal procedures, the constitution of the assemblies at cantonal levels will follow, as well as the election of delegates to the House of Peoples, Darijana Filipović stated after the conclusion of the party coordination meeting. This will, she added, more clearly define the negotiation possibilities among political parties.
“We will conduct the negotiation process in this manner so that it results in a parliamentary majority that will elect an executive branch that can implement decisions from the clear programs we presented to our people during the campaign, to our voters,” Darijana Filipović said, Vice President of HDZ Bosnia and Herzegovina and newly elected member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Croatia Continues to Invest
The backbone of the meeting was a cooperation lasting since 2016, during which thousands of projects were realized, including the new investment plans. The Government of the Republic of Croatia intends to continue to invest and provide support, and one of the most significant areas of investment will be education, stated Croatian ministers Tomislav Ćorić and Radovan Fuchs.
“That is what we could and what we will support is everything that brings further development, above all economic development, in the regions where our mayors and municipal heads hold office. In this way, we want to raise the living standards of all residents in those regions, while supporting educational, cultural, and healthcare institutions,” Tomislav Ćorić said, Minister of Finance in the Government of the Republic of Croatia.
Radovan Fuchs, Minister of Science, Education, and Youth in the Government of the Republic of Croatia, spoke about the importance of investing in education, particularly in higher education institutions.
“I would particularly single out what is, in my opinion, the most important – the University of Mostar, which has in the meantime grown into a truly top-tier educational institution and whose future development we can view with optimism,” Fuchs pointed out.
Bošković: The Continuity of Meetings Is Important
Stjepan Bošković, Mayor of Stolac, who hosted the meeting, assessed that the continuity of these meetings is of crucial importance.
“This coordination is designed so that we, from the local self-government units, mayors and municipal heads, can jointly plan and coordinate the implementation of our plans, to the satisfaction of all people living in our municipalities and cities,” Bošković said.
More than 20 mayors and municipal heads participated in that meeting. It was estimated that the initiated projects can be completed by the end of the year, including transportation infrastructure, kindergarten, and school projects ranging from Orašje to Neum.
