Marceta comments on situation in Drvar
“The tense situation in Drvar was heated up by Croat and Serb representatives at the highest level” Head of Drvar Municipality Mile Marceta stated. One of the reasons for the non-functioning of executive authorities in Drvar is the non-adoption of the budget, although during the meeting with BiH Federation President Ivo Andric Luzanski it was agreed that the budget draft should be completed by 20 July.
