Bosnia agrees government
IT TOOK 16 months of wrangling, but Bosnia has a new government – a leadership that promised to tackle the country’s economic problems, including its pressing lack of a budget.
In December, the parties that had won the top six places in the October 2010 election agreed on how to allot the prime minister’s position and the cabinet posts. Parliament approved that cabinet yesterday in a vote of 26-7, with one abstention.
Power in Bosnia is shared by Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats, who rotate key government posts.
Prime minister Vjekoslav Bevanda, a Bosnian Croat, said he will immediately work on the economy.
