Bosnia and Herzegovina parties agree to work on electoral reforms

The delegations of the parties that form the government at the state level agreed yesterday to form a working group that will work on changes to the Election Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina BiH, which is part of the coalition agreement but also a task that the international community left to local politicians.

After the meeting, the presidents of HDZ, Milorad Dodik, SDP, Nermin Niksic and SNSD addressed the media. They also discussed the future dynamic of the new government at state level, as well as inevitable electoral reforms.

Today, we also agreed to assign one person each to start preparing the Electoral Law, and we did. It is possible that the first part will be related to the Central Election Commission CEC the mechanism for conducting the elections, but all other topics will also come up because our obligation is to bring it within six months after the creation of the news, he said.

Covic added that the team for preparation of amendments to the Election Law consists of Darijana Filipovic from the HDZ, Sredoje Novic from the SDP and Nerin Dizdar from the SDP.

The goal of yesterday's meeting was to try to create a more acceptable and effective environment for the work of the executive authorities in BiH and the Federation of BiH FBiH. The decisions are already made unanimously in the Council of Ministers, just needs to be dynamized now. Where we are a bit stuck in the parliamentary work, I still need to work a bit more to feel the parliamentary majority regardless of what the topic is. He added that we will create that climate of trust, even if we are not in agreement on some topic, we don t have to put it in the foreground.
