MOSTAR, 11 October (FENA) - Changes in electoral legislation and the current political situation were the topics of a session of the presidency of the Croat People's Assembly (HNS) held in Mostar on Monday.
"We also discussed the last EPP Summit in Ljubljana and talks at this forum dedicated to the relationship between the EU and the Western Balkans from the aspect of political stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the need to adopt amendments to the BiH Election Law. Last week I had separate talks with colleagues Izetbegović and Dodik, precisely in terms of seeking a common term to put some important topics, such as the Election Law, on the agenda, and I can say that at this moment we are all looking for a way to make both legislative and executive institutions," said after the session at the press conference the president of HNS Dragan Čović.
He added that there was no major step forward in the talks and that it was not yet known whether the meeting of the three would be held with or without representatives of the international community.
"That part of the conversation is ongoing, there is no big step forward on the agreement, and the views are different, someone would like to sit exclusively with international representatives, while on the other hand, some other would like to meet with domestic representatives exclusively and we will see how it all ends. For now, we are sticking to this bilateral part," Čović said.
He pointed out that the so-called "File model" does not exist.
"We need an election of three members of the Presidency, legitimate representatives, and to include all judgments of the court in Strasbourg and the Constitutional Court of BiH. We also need a legitimate election of all caucuses in the House of Peoples of the FBiH and there are a lot of solutions that we have offered. We have five or six models on the table with similar principles if we want to elect, say, members of the Presidency. If we want to ensure that we have a classic civic concept, then we simply need two constituencies in the Federation of BiH and we have solved everything," said Čović.
The president of the HNS emphasized that "it suits the politicians in Sarajevo that the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains as it is."
He added that the political crisis in BiH has reached its peak and that it is high time we got out of it.
