SARAJEVO, January 4 (FENA) – Secretary of the House of Peoples of the Parliament of Federation of BiH finds that incumbent (former) assembly of the House can make decisions about the FBiH budget for 2019. Hadžiavdić told FENA that members of the incumbent assembly still have commitments, not only rights from this status, until a new one is established.
According to him, it is possible for the new assembly of the House of Representatives and "former" assembly of the House of Peoples to decide on the budget.
It is already familiar that budget cannot come into effect until both houses approve it. House of Representatives has been constituted whereas the constituting session of a new assembly of the House of Peoples still has not been held or scheduled.
"New" House of Representatives announced extraordinary session for next Wednesday to discuss proposal budget of the Federation of BiH for 2019. Chair of the House Elvir Karajbić emphasized that the Federation must have this-year's budget by January 31 or a decision on temporary financing, otherwise financial flow in the entity will be questioned.
Karajbić also scheduled a regular session on Wednesday, January 9, to resume commenced process of constituting of the House of Representatives.
In case of incomplete management, new assembly of the House of Representatives can decide on the budget, said Karajbić, reminding that newly elected deputies have formally accepted their mandates after general elections held in October last year in BiH.
