A regular meeting of coalition partners at the state level was held in the BiH Presidency building, and the topics of discussion were current problems. The meeting was attended by the presidents of SDA, HDZ BiH, SBB, leaders and representatives of the Alliance for Changes parties. The president of the Alliance for Better Future of BiH Fahrudin Radončić said that excise taxes on oil and oil derivatives were discussed, as well as the budget, writes Patria.

- I think we have reached an extremely high level of agreement and that things will go in the best order in that regard - said Radončić.

When asked if the adoption of the budget was blocked, Radončić said he was not aware of it and that it should be adopted as quickly as possible.

SDA leader Bakir Izetbegović said after the meeting that they also discussed some personnel issues, clearing debt, and the construction of a border crossing near Bratunac.

- This border crossing is in the interest of BiH citizens and it will be done with funds from the clearing debt this year, and then it will continue in 2018 - said Izetbegović.

He confirmed that a solution regarding blue diesel is still being considered.

When asked about the CEC's decision to remove Salmir Kaplan from the election list, Izetbegović believes that the CEC has gone beyond the scope of its work.

- The decision is not final, we will see, I don't have a proper answer yet - said Izetbegović.
