HDZ-SNSD COOPERATION REMAINS STRONG

MOSTAR, JULY 13 /SRNA/ – HDZ leader Dragan Čović and SNSD leader Milorad Dodik assessed after a meeting of party delegations in Mostar that cooperation between the two parties had been productive and would continue.

"The cooperation we have established is working very well, and we want it to continue after the elections. The Chairperson of the Council of Ministers briefed us on the issues that can still be resolved at the Council of Ministers. We have always sought solutions, never at the expense of a third party, but through agreement. We differ on some issues, but we have tried to keep those differences from becoming prominent. So far, we have always managed to find a way to reach an agreement," Čović stated at the news conference after the meeting.

Dodik noted the meeting had provided an opportunity to review what had been achieved and discuss the way forward.

"Our cooperation has been good. We managed to work together without working against one another and we were not working against anyone else either. We contributed to preserving peace and doing what was possible, although an international mafia took hold in BiH, appointing and removing officials, and we are not sure this is the end of it," Dodik said.
