DODIK: WE HAVE FOUR GUARANTEED DEPUTIES IN THE HOUSE OF PEOPLES, WITH POSSIBILITY OF SECURING FIFTH SEAT

BANJA LUKA, NOVEMBER 10 /SRNA/ – SNSD Leader Milorad Dodik has said today that the ruling coalition in Republika Srpska has four guaranteed deputies in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH, with a possibility of securing a fifth seat.

"There is a certain possibility, but we will not pursue it. Our main objective is to secure four deputies, we are certain to have those. We have surplus votes for a fifth seat as well, but that will depend on certain other factors," Dodik said in Banja Luka following a meeting of representatives of the ruling coalition in Republika Srpska.

He added that they have ten representatives in the House of Representatives.

"That has also been settled today. We have our nine representatives plus one more who has agreed to work together and act in the interests of Republika Srpska, which is approach we appreciate," Dodik said.

As he noted, this means that nothing can happen at the level of BiH without the participation of the ruling coalition in Republika Srpska.
