The SDA and HDZ, senior partners in the Federation’s governing coalition, held talks with other party leaders this week as the first step in building a new majority, in the wake of the Democratic Front’s exit from the coalition. At present the Party for BiH, led by Amer Jerlagic, appears to be front runner.
On Wednesday, the HDZ leader, Dragan Covic, in agreement with SDA chief Bakir Izetbegovic, met the head of the Party for BiH, Amer Jerlagic, and offered him a place in the new coalition.
Later on Wednesday, Jerlagic met representatives from HDZ 1990, another Croat party, which has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the new ruling coalition.
HDZ leader Dragan Covic has indicated that the process of forming a new majority could take up to two months.
