SBiH Negotiating to Stay in Federation Government – Oslobodenje

After accusing the SDA of breaking its word, SBiH leader Amer Jerlagic said earlier this week that his party might leave the Federation’s newly-formed governing coalition.

Although they coalesced not even 15 days ago, the newly formed Federal coalition is on the verge of collapse. The SBiH announced its exit from the coalition due to a failure to respect the agreement of the other coalition partners, primarily the SDA.

“The FBiH government appointed the oversight board of Elektroprivreda BiH several days before concluding the call for applications, and with that no one informed the SBiH of the fact,” warned Jerlagic.

On Friday, however, Mr. Jerlagic met with SDA president Bakir Izetbegovic, and announced that a new agreement had been reached to keep the coalition together.

After the one hour meeting, Jerlagic said that he agreed with Izetbegovic that the party should get the ministry of energy, mining and industry in the FBiH government, and they will discuss possible staff in the coming days.
