Stanivuković also spoke out, writing on his Facebook that the focus of the talks was the unblocking of state institutions and BiH's European path.

"A constructive and important meeting with Mr. Dragan Čović. For the European path of Bosnia and Herzegovina, cooperation, dialogue and responsibility of all political actors are needed," Stanivuković stated.

He emphasizes that PDP is ready to support European laws and participate in unblocking BiH institutions.

"The adoption of the budget is particularly important, as it is key for the functioning of the state and institutions, and in that direction we are ready to give our proposals and provide support," added Stanivuković.

An unavoidable topic was also the BiH Election Law, on whose amendments HDZ BiH has been insisting for years.

"We are principled in advocating that the Croatian people in BiH have the right to elect their representative, and in that direction we are ready to support amendments to the Election Law. I discussed all of this today with Čović and representatives of HDZ," concluded Stanivuković.
