Dodik pointed out that SNSD with its coalition partners Eight and HDZ is definitely the structure that together will form the government at the BiH level.

“What is crucial for us is to get guarantees that the processes from the RS that are important to us will be unblocked, namely the Buk Bijela hydroelectric power plant, the airport in Trebinje and this gasification through the RS. Our final determination. If there is no agreement on that, if there is no unblocking, we will not go to power, why would we sit there like ikebans. Do you want us to clear up relations? We will clear them up. Do not block any project in the RS and we we will not block projects in FBiH,” said Dodik at the press conference yesterday.
