PRIME MINISTER SPIRIC ANNOUNCED HE WOULD RESIGN IF BOSNIAN STATE PARLIAMENT FAILS TO ADOPT POLICE REFORM LAWS

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (April 1,2008) – Bosnia's Prime Minister Nikola Spiric warned that he would resign if the Bosnian State Parliament fails to adopt police reform laws.

”If the laws are not adopted, the party leaders will have to look for someone who wants to be an actor at the head of the Bosnian Council of Ministers, because I do not want to do that” Spiric stated.

Prior to the session of the Bosnian Parliament, Spiric said that refusal of the police reform laws would send a clear message that the current mandate of the Bosnian Council of Ministers, which submitted the bills to the procedure, no longer has support.

The EU foreign affairs ministers warned last week that the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) between Bosnia and the European Union will not be signed until the reform laws are adopted.
