News Summary
TV BiH interview with Silajdzic on possible coalition between Party for BiH and SDA
Party for BiH President Haris Silajdzic, in an interview for TV BiH, discussed whether his party would enter into any coalitions or remain independent. “I said that there would not be any coalitions, it is not needed. We will remain independent and we will support solutions that suit us and our party’s platform” said Silajdzic. He said that he is not interested in any government posts, and added that the upcoming BiH General Elections look more like a struggle for power to him, than for BiH. Silajdzic explained that this would be the “struggle for power for a specific piece of territory” which is probably the “desire (design) of the Belgrade regime: for us to turn to ourselves and look at one another’s faults.” Silajdzic commented on elections held up to this point in BiH: “What gives us the right to have elections, three times up to now, when we have a million-and-a-half citizens out of their homes. The Dayton Peace Agreement specifies certain pre-conditions that have never been fulfilled” he concluded.
