Federation Prime Minister Fadil Novalic announced on Wednesday that his government had adopted a reform plan required by the EU. He did not discuss the specifics of the plan.
“The [reform] agenda is still not public, because it is not signed. This is the first government in Bosnia and Herzegovina that has adopted it,” Federation entity Prime Minister Fadil Novalic said after a government session.
According to the EU plan, the country’s two entities and state government are due to adopt and then sign the reform agenda at a meeting with the European Enlargement Commissioner, Johannes Hahn, scheduled for Thursday.
But implementing the strategy could be difficult, as the Federation’s government is nearing dissolution, after the collapse of the ruling coalition. The Democratic Front, which last week pulled out of its coalition with the SDA and HDZ, is now asking the entity’s constitutional court to take up the legality of the government’s recent decision to change the rules governing appointment of managers to state-owned companies.
