Čović agreed in principle, tonight we will definitively know if there is a coalition or not

HDZ BiH leader Dragan Čović told reporters as he was leaving the building of the Presidency of BiH that he would return at 4:00 PM when a meeting of representatives of the three parties will definitively be held, reports a reporter from the Patria news agency.

- I held a meeting with Izetbegović and I must admit, what he and Željko Komšić agreed upon is a bit foggy to me, but I agreed in principle that tonight we will give a final answer to the public and to you as to whether we have established a government or there is nothing from this coalition, Čović explained.

Asked whether it is an agreement of 5+5+5 and one joint ministry, Čović said:

- And what does that mean? That is not clear to me either, and it is all so secretive and in a fog. Nevertheless, I repeat, tonight we will know what next, added Čović, emphasizing that he will not give up on the Ministry of Finance.

- About some departments we can discuss and seek a compromise, but about others not. But given that everything is secretive, tonight we will get an answer on how to proceed, said Čović.

At around 3:00 PM, Damir Bećirović, a member of the Presidency of the DF, arrived at the building of the Presidency of BiH for a meeting with Izetbegović.
