The President of the Alliance for a Better Future (Savez za bolju budućnost SBB) of BiH, Fahrudin Radončić, addressed the media after the negotiations on the Election Law. After the hour-long talks, Radončić said that they had once again received the red lines from the representatives of the Croatian people, below which they will not go.
- We also said on what we can and cannot agree with. What is important is that the dialogue must be held, because there is no alternative and the agreement is that in the next seven days our teams will keep one live internal communication, simulate certain models and that we will keep that negotiating name after that - said Radončić.
The leader of SBB pointed out that he insists that solutions are not possible without very, very strong international mediation.
- We need people from Brussels and Washington here and just postponing the elections, if we agree on all the demands of both sides and make a parliamentary majority that will be able to vote in the House of Representatives and the House of Peoples, is not an impossible and unnecessary mission. Of course, it would be better to do it within the legally prescribed deadline.
- We agreed not to bother the expert teams today, for the simple reason that today we are in similar positions as we were in Neum. We have kept that distance and this first-party bloc, SDA, SBB and NiP and on the other side, two Croatian parties, that it is difficult at this time to make a step forward that would give political space for expert teams to agree, but it was reduced to a lower level of communication to test two or three more ideas that are not predominantly crystallized today - added Radončić.
Radončić said that his position and the position of Bakir Izetbegović and Elmedin Konaković are very unique.
When asked why it is so difficult to reach an agreement, Radončić said that these are strategic issues of harmonization of Bosniak-Croat relations, and that since 2010 there have been many plans to try to resolve this and that it is not realistic to expect his and Konaković's energy helps to overcome such things within 15 days.
- Here is the second position that we are in zeitung of holding the upcoming elections and that we are in a very difficult situation due to separatism in RS and that these are two very important factors to really make maximum efforts and solve problems, said Radončić.
Radončić was asked to comment on whether postponing the elections is his option.
- Any option that will lead to a solution, a month or two, plus or minus, is acceptable to me, said the leader of SBB.
