MINIĆ: ELECTION WIN MEANS POLITICAL POWER, LIKE IT OR NOT

SARAJEVO, NOVEMBER 9 /SRNA/ – SNSD Main Board member Savo Minić said in Sarajevo today that the SNSD had won one of the most convincing victories in the recent elections, and that this brought with it a certain amount of political power.

"Whether anyone likes it or not, that is a fact," Minić told reporters after officially signing a statement accepting his mandate as President of Republika Srpska at the offices of the BiH Central Election Commission /CEC/ in Sarajevo.

Speaking about the formation of the BiH-level government, Minić said everyone wanted the process completed as soon as possible.

"However, given the election results, we have certain demands that we expect to be respected, not because they are what we want, but because that is the political reality," Minić said.

He added that the SNSD's victory was beyond question.

"The election result is there. I think we need to come back to reality, accept things as they are and start forming the government," Minić said.
