Ashdown also says that police regions will be determined based on functionality and efficiency and not based on political interests.

Sarac – The RS Vice-President Adil Osmanovic says that RS President, Dragan Cavic, “has managed well following 16 December… and he directly challenged the international community with his moves.” One of those moves, says Osmanovic, is a nomination of Pero Bukejlovic to RS PM-designate, which enabled SDS for the first time in six years to have its member on this position. “Following the measures, confusion and political fear was felt among leaders of Serb parties. However, pretending to speak on behalf of all Serbs in RS, Cavic said ‘no’ to the international community. That ‘no’ says that reforms will not go as IC has envisaged it,” said Osmanovic adding that Cavic felt there is a lack of unity in the IC and decided to use it which is also visible in his nomination of Bukejlovic. |

So far, it is certain SDS would support Bukejlovic, while PDP has announced it would reach a decision on this matter at a session of the party presidency that will take place at the end of the week. SRS expressed its readiness to support the new Government if no Minister from SDA, SDP and Party for BiH participated in it.

| SDA, PBiH and SDP on the new RS Government, PM designate
| EuroBlic, cover ‘SDA awaits for a call and agreement’ and pg. RS1 ‘They are waiting for a call to an agreement’ by Rajna Radosavljevic – SDA thinks exclusiveness of RS President Dragan Cavic, who claims there will be no SDA Ministers at the new Government, is a consequence of new political ambient that was created after the agreement on harmonized political acts of Serb political parties was signed. Tarik Sadovic (SDA) expects the new designate would invite SDA for consultations in order to inform them of the priorities of the future work of the cabinet. Muharem Murselovic (Party for BiH delegate at RS NA) says the story on break of cooperation between SDS and SDA is not clear since these two parties have always cooperated well. He stressed the Party for BiH would not support any majority in which SDS participates. SDP thinks there will be no problems regarding the support to the new Government and they think “Bukejlovic is not a good solution for a designate”. ‘Should Bukejlovic show the same at the new Government as he showed at Ivanic’s Government we will have great problems. We will not support such a government nor we would participate in it regardless of what would be offered to us’, SDP delegate at RS NA Slobodan Popovic has stated. EuroBlic inset ‘More than 42 votes for the Government’ – as according to some assessments of RS NA delegates, the new Government might get a support of a bit more than 42 needed votes.

He notes that new designate would offer signatory-parties of the Agreement to participate in the new Government. Milanko Mihajlica from SRS agrees with Bosic. Mirko Banjac, DNS Vice President, also regarded SNSD and its President, Milorad Dodik, as being mostly responsible for violation of the Agreement. Nebojsa Radmanovic, SNSD Executive Board President, confirmed this party would no longer take part in talks on Government composition, adding SNSD would not support new Government. He also said that SNSD had not violated the Agreement. Goran Milojevic, PDP Vice President, said that “selectiveness of some political party’s leaders have resulted in discord amongst Serb parties”. |
