Novalic: Question of whether I will be candidate for PM still not topical

Fadil Novalic, president of the SDA’s Economy, Finance and Privatization Board, who is publicly mentioned as a candidate for mandate-holder in the Federal government, told reporters today that the question is still not topical.Before a session of the SDA’s board at which they considered the “Program of Measures for Economic Growth and Employment,” Novalic said that as president of the economic board, today he presented the final version of the economic program, “which was the main topic of the electoral campaign that assisted in bringing the party to power.”

According to him, just after that it will be seen whether the program will be certified as official, and whether some procedure of who will implement it will be behind it.

Asked whether in party meetings they discussed whether he could be the mandate-holder, he responded that everything he hears about that he is hearing in the news.

“I don’t participate in these intraparty meetings because my job is linked with the work on this economic program, a Sisyphean task that demanded quite a lot of attention in the past five to six months, such that I was focused on that. Everything I’ve heard on these issues comes from the media,” said Novalic.

According to him, the basis of the economic program is reducing public spending, reducing obligations to work, improving the business environment, amending the law on labor, activation of resources, support to business activities and the social sphere that must remain in the zone of tolerance…

One of the names that is noted as a future FBiH prime minister is that of Erdal Trhulj.

He told reporters today that he thinks that there are more pertinent names that will be the PM.

“I think that I will not accept this duty,” said Trhulj.
