President of the Croat Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dragan Čović, sent the President of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lidija Bradara, the list of candidates from this party for the new convocation of the FBiH Government.
According to this list of candidates, which FENA had access to, HDZ proposes Toni Kraljević for Minister of Finance, Vedran Škobić for Minister of Justice, and Sanja Vlaisavljević for Minister of Culture and Sports.
According to HDZ’s proposal, the Ministry of Health would be headed by Milenko Bevanda, while Željko Nedić was proposed as Minister of Spatial Planning.
HDZ proposed Andrijana Katić as the Minister of Transport and Communications.
Earlier today, the President of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lidija Bradara, and two vice presidents, Refik Lendo and Igor Stojanović held a meeting on the topic of appointing the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The constitutional deadline for the appointment expires next week, and this was the main topic of the meeting.
In addition, Čović says he is convinced that the FBiH Government will be formed by April 6, because that is the constitutional deadline for forming the Government, as today was the deadline for submitting the proposals of ministers to FBiH president, who should appoint tomorrow, following the FBiH Constitution, the future convocation of the Government and offer the vice presidents to give their consent to it.
“It took us four to five months to get to the stage where we will most likely adopt the state budget tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It took us time to analyze the competencies of the people who were supposed to take care of our security. It is likely to be seen in the future who made some changes and what did they do after and during the election campaign to get a chance to block some things today. Let the institutions decide that, we will not deal with it,” said Čović.
He stated that some of his associates are talking to SDA representatives, but that he is not in such a position.
Čović added that some were earlier looking forward to the high representative’s interventions, because they believed that he would make decisions that suited them, and “today they are advocating that this should not happen by chance and are organizing protests in front of the Office of the OHR”, Fena reports.
