Nikšić: We are ready for compromise, but not for blackmail

(Patria) - The President of SDP and Prime Minister of FBiH Nermin Nikšić commented today in Mostar on the state coalition meeting tomorrow, hosted by HDZ BiH and Dragan Čović.

"Tomorrow is a continuation of the talks, and I sincerely hope that we will move forward with the implementation of what we have agreed upon. The recent statements we've heard, the conditioning, don't seem to be in that direction. I sincerely hope they are more of a populist media position than the implementation of what we agreed upon. We will see how it looks, and on behalf of the Trojka, we are coming, as we have come to every meeting, ready to talk, ready for compromises, and without being ready to blackmail anyone, nor for anyone to blackmail us, but simply to find solutions to all open issues," said Nikšić.

He stated that there are significant indications from a part of the international community that if a few more laws from the European agenda were adopted, it would be enough for Bosnia and Herzegovina to open negotiations for accession to the European Union.

"I believe that this is a stake worth striving for and seeking compromise, because all citizens of BiH will benefit from it," concluded Nikšić.
