IZETBEGOVIĆ: I am ready to talk to all for the country, even with Dodik

BiH Presidency Chairman Bakir Izetbegovic said today that he is ready to talk with anyone in the state who may make things go better, even with RS President Milorad Dodik.

Responding to a reporter's question about a possible meeting of the SDA and SNSD, said that it all began with the effort mutual friends from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the international community to find a solution adapted to the coordination mechanism that would be acceptable and the state level and entities, Republika Srpska, adding that she anticipates some solutions.

- Will it be resolved through telephone conversations, the meeting Zvizdic and Cvijanovic or possibly through a meeting of the parties, it does not matter. As for me, in any effective way, because the attitudes began to approach, and then turn it into that someone offers to real changes in the composition of the coalition, which is not discussed. Where will be the meeting whether in Sarajevo or Banja Luka, it does not matter, but without having the real complications, in our style - Izetbegovic said.

Asked whether he rules out the possibility of his meeting with Dodik, Izetbegovic said that Dodik's statements regularly reduce the possibility of such meetings, such as those regarding Bosniaks in Republika Srpska that 'if you want to stay in the RS, then you should go to referendum but will support the Serbian people ', and that is to celebrate the day that discriminate against them.

- I think that's the thing close in conjunction with the coordination mechanism that would be acceptable for the state and the entities or meet to drink coffee and talk about other things, but Dodik as if deliberately says the atmosphere that this does not happen - says Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.In connection with the problem of (not) to maintain this year's local elections in Mostar, Izetbegovic notes that in the negotiations of political parties shift, unfortunately, not made.

- I think that the rigid positions of the HDZ, and the SDA in Mostar. Bosnians have lost some positions through imposing, six municipalities, of which there were three predominantly Bosniak and not to give up this position that was canceled, which was guaranteed by the Dayton agreement, so I'm not optimistic - states.

Izetbegovic believes that the reform process will be stalled until the local elections but notes that in some ways already has developments - the adoption of the document 'Defence Review' which has made an important step forward, adaptation of the SAA in the trade part.
