House of Representatives of BiH PS to discuss the BiH institutions budget proposal again today.

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH should, at an urgent session scheduled for today, consider the Bill on the Budget of BiH Institutions and BiH's international obligations for 2020, proposed by the Presidency of BiH.

We remind you that the Budget was proposed under an urgent procedure, but after the meeting of the leaders of SDA, HDZ, and SNSD, they decided that it would proceed under a shortened procedure and that it should pass the committee phase. HDZ insisted on this the most, and the opposition interpreted it as obstruction of local elections, given that every hour counts, as the organization of elections is already well underway and the Central Election Commission does not have sufficient funds without the Budget.

Then, at the session of the House of Representatives, it was concluded that a new session of the House of Representatives would be held on Thursday, July 9, when the budget proposal would be considered in the first reading, after which the amendment phase would be opened.

Immediately after the completion of the amendment phase, the Bill on the Budget of BiH Institutions and BiH's international obligations for 2020 will be considered in the second reading.

The goal is for the debate to be concluded and the budget adopted in the House of Representatives by the end of this week. Otherwise, during an open discussion yesterday, the ambassadors of the Quint conveyed to the leadership of the BiH Parliament their expectations that work on the adoption of the 2020 Budget would be completed within the announced deadline.
