Federation Coalition in Jeopardy – BalkanInsight

Talks between the SDA, DF, and HDZ on the formation of a new government in the Federation entity fell apart on Sunday, as DF leader Zeljko Komsic walked out of the trilateral meeting. Speaking to press after leaving the talks, Komsic said that his party would not be a part of the entity government.

Komsic told journalists that the negotiations had failed and that the DF will not be a part of the new Federation government, but that his party was willing to support the reform programmes of a minority government in order to avoid further political crisis.

“The Democratic Front will have no ministers in the new Federation government,” Komsic confirmed.

“They have our support to form the government [without the DF] and how will they agree further on, I do not know,” he added.

Later on Sunday, another senior DF leader, Sifet Podzic warned that the party was also ready to abandon its positions in the state government, the Council of Ministers.
