News Summary
Sloga holds session with SPRS members
The Sloga Presidency held a session attended by Zivko Radisic and Tihomir Gligoric, SPRS members, to hear the reasons behind the party’s departure from the coalition. According to RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, the Sloga Presidency concluded that certain SPRS personnel, led by Radisic, attempted to destabilize the coalition and RS Government. Explaining the demand that Petar Djokic resign as Speaker of the RS National Assembly, Dodik said that Djokic was appointed as a Sloga candidate, emphasizing that this could contribute to resolution of the situation created by the departure of the socialists from Sloga. Dodik said that the Sloga Presidency supports his decision to refuse the resignation of SPRS ministers, adding that Sloga does not view this event as the end of the coalition.
