Komšić: Mandilović decided to declare as Other

The session of the DF Presidency has concluded, where three conclusions were reached, the first of which is that DF stands by all its proposals for candidates for ministers and deputies in the Council of Ministers and the FBiH Government, writes the BiH news agency Patria.

Željko Komšić, the leader of DF, said that it was decided to leave it to all candidates to declare their national identities as they wish.

- Doctor Milan Mandilović decided to declare himself as Other, which means that DF will not have three Serb positions in the FBiH Government - said Komšić.

The last conclusion of the DF Presidency is that they condition that the FBiH Government and the Council of Ministers must be appointed on the same day and at the same hour, otherwise DF will not vote for the FBiH Government.

- Some negotiators had such a condition from the beginning, and now this is our only condition - said Komšić, adding that he spoke with the Deputy President of SDA, Bakir Izetbegović, today, but not with Dragan Čović.

- Do not ask me why Čović does not communicate with me, you should ask him, but if he does not want to with me, it is logical that I cannot with him either. It is important to note that we did not influence Doctor Mandilović's decision on how he would declare himself because it is everyone's right to do as they feel - said Komšić.

Otherwise, Komšić believes that it will not be technically possible to appoint the FBiH Government and the Council of Ministers by March 31, but he does not consider it a big problem because the Budget for FBiH has been proposed and there will be no delays.
