| Terzic resignation – consultative meeting at BiH Presidency
| Herceg Bosna Radio, FTV, RTRS, Oslobodjenje, front pg splash ‘SBiH conditions support to Prime Minister Terzic’, by V. Zivak – The Party for BiH has conditioned support to the Chairman of BiH Council of Ministers (BiH CoM), Adnan Terzic, for as long as the SDA does not adopt changes and amendments to the Law on privatization of companies at the FBiH level. This was confirmed by the leader of SBiH, Safet Halilovic, who yesterday (Tuesday) attended a meeting between the BiH Presidency and leaders of parties that form the parliamentary majority in the BiH Parliament. Halilovic explains that “SBiH supports all reform projects in the BiH Parliament, however all staffing and other issues will be linked to solutions to reform projects in the Federation (of BiH) that were stopped by the SDA and other parties, which were started by the SBiH”. On the other hand, the President of PDP, Mladen Ivanic, told journalists that “the PDP believes that there are no reasons to relieve Terzic” and that PDP’s MP in the BiH Parliament would support one single VAT rate set at 17 %. When it comes to Presidents of HDZ and SDS, Barisa Colak and Dragan Cavic respectively, they escaped the press by using the back door of the BiH Presidency’s building. Chairman of BiH CoM, Adnan Terzic, noted that “as far as I can see, there is a good will to overcome some issues”. Questioned whether reforms in BiH could be implemented without the SBiH, Terzic replied: “Reforms could be implemented without anyone who wishes not to implement them. No party can be the condition for implementation of reforms and I expect they (reforms) will eventually be getting the support, with or without me”. (also covered by Dnevni Avaz, front pg splash and pg 2 ‘Party for BiH conditioning support to Terzic’, by A. Malagic) Dnevni Avaz, pg 2 ‘We will take final position after solution to crisis in Federation Government’, by E. S. – Carries Safet Halilovic as saying that Terzic’s resignation is matter for the BiH Presidency and not for leaders of political parties. Halilovic notes: “I stressed that the SBiH could take final position after finding solution to the functioning of the Federation Government”.

| Oslobodjenje: Discussion on crisis in order to paralyse the Parliament
| Oslobodjenje, pgs 4-5 ‘Discussion on crisis in order to paralyze the Parliament’, by Almir Terzic – The Speaker of the FBiH Parliament’s House of Representatives (FBiH HoR), Muhamed Ibrahimovic, commenting to the announcement of the SBiH that the SBiH would ask the FBiH HoR to discuss the current crisis in the FBiH Government, notes that the FBiH HoR is not the right place for discussion on the alleged crisis, believing it is a problem for the parties’ leaders, not the MPs. President of SDP Caucus in the FBiH Parliament, Karlo Filipovic, argues the best thing for SBiH, if it is not happy with the work of the FBiH Government, is to leave the Government, otherwise it is all about pure politicization. Filipovic believes that the SBiH wants to transfer the same atmosphere into the FBiH Parliament, which could then fall into crisis. The President of SDA Caucus in the FBiH Parliament, Semsudin Mehmedovic, also fears that the crisis could have a negative impact on the work of the FBiH Parliament. He explains: “SDA has big objections to the work of the FBiH Government and ministers from our party, as well as from the SBiH. We are ready to discuss the disastrous work of the FBiH Government, but without politically fabricated implications. Most of the laws that the Government enacted were not theirs (SBiH’s), nor were they fruit of work of ideas and work of their ministers, they were products of OHR’s experts, and they claim them as theirs”. |
