Bakir Izetbegovic, the vice president of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), in a statement before the start of the SDA’s central committee meeting in Sarajevo said that the negotiations with representatives of the Democratic Front (DF) and the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) would continue, the Anadolu Agency reported.
Talks on forming a new FBiH government between the DF, HDZ BiH, and SDA leaders broke last weekend after DF leader Zeljko Komsic left them, saying that he was leaving the coalition and that the DF in the FBiH parliament would support a minority government formed by the SDA and HDZ BiH.
Since then there has not been a new meeting of the three leaders, and SDA leadership rejected the idea of forming a minority government.
“We started well with the DF, and that was a historic turning point in BiH politics. However, someone deliberately ‘poisoned’ relations between the DF and SDA. The SDA did not give Komsic a reason to be mad at us. Something hurt Komsic, but it wasn’t me, someone else carried the stories,” Izetbegovic told reporters.
He stressed that the SDA would do everything it can for a new round of negotiations to succeed, because as he said, “the coalition has a good perspective.”
Regarding the session of the SDA’s central committee and discussions connected with holding a party congress, Izetbegovic said that the “congress can be delayed if it would cause turbulence.”
“The country is more important to us than the congress,” said Izetbegovic.
