BANJA LUKA, (Patria) - A meeting of the leaders of coalition parties in Republika Srpska, SNSD, DNS, SP, Demos, United Srpska and NDP, was held in Banja Luka.

SNSD President Milorad Dodik said at a press conference that the coalition partners agreed today on the agreement that the leaders of SNSD, HDZ BiH and SDA signed in Sarajevo on Monday after nine months. He stated that all elements of the agreement are in line with the acts of RS and with the Resolution on Military Neutrality.

Dodik emphasized that the fundamental conditions for the formation of the BiH Council of Ministers have been created. He added that cooperation with NATO is not disputed, but membership is not acceptable.
