Members of the Interdepartmental Group also traveling to Neum, initial positions of negotiators unchanged

(Patria) - The Interdepartmental Working Group for Electoral Reforms joins the negotiations in Neum. The Interdepartmental Working Group for Electoral Reforms joins the negotiations in Neum.

Yesterday's negotiations lasted all day until late into the night, and Matthew Palmer and the Director at the European External Action Service, Angelina Eichhorst, said there is room for optimism, although that did not seem to be the case at the meetings.

They emphasized the urgency of finding a solution and stated that in domestic politicians they have partners committed to seeking a resolution.

SDA and HDZ still have diametrically opposed views and proposals on everything. Most of the time was spent discussing the functioning of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with accusations flying from one side to the other.

The HDZ model, which they persistently present, was literally 'sunk' today by representatives of the Venice Commission, who are also participating in the negotiations. What also became crystal clear today is that mixtures of direct and indirect methods of electing the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina are absolutely unacceptable.

When it comes to the House of Peoples of the FBiH, negotiators are also at odds, while some presidents demanded the same powers for the Club of Others as for the three other constituent peoples.

Regarding the reduction of the powers of the houses of peoples and limiting them exclusively to matters concerning vital national interest, HDZ still maintains its position that it does not want to hear about it, let alone negotiate!
