The Chairman of the BiH House of Representatives Božo Ljubić spoke yesterday in Sarajevo with the Ambassador of Great Britain to BiH Nigel Casey on the meeting that was held between leaders of the seven BiH political parties with representatives of the European Commission in Brussels.
Ljubić said it was accurate that at the Brussels meeting a step forward was made with regard to the conceptual agreement that constitutional changes are linked to constitutional categories, but that the model of changes to the BiH Constitution have not been agreed on.
“It would be necessary that in the period until the next high-level talks, which will be held in Mostar, there is an insistence on an agreement on a model that would satisfy the ruling in the “Sejdić-Finci” case, and the principles on which the agreement has already been made.
He explained that this means that the three constituent peoples are placed in the same position when it comes to election of members of the BiH Presidency and delegates to the BiH Parliament House of Peoples.
He said that there is a willingness to invest extra effort to come to a model that would be put into amendments in the BiH Constitution.
He recalled that the model proposed by HDZ 1990 and HDZ BiH meets democratic standards.
