SARAJEVO, Bosnia (August 25,2008) - Leaders of Bosnia's six most influential political parties met in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on Saturday, to discuss a range of issues.Those included Bosnia's European integrations, constitutional reform, state-owned property status, and that of the Brčko District.

The Party of Democratic Action (SDA) leader Sulejman Tihić told reporters that "the talks had not resulted in major agreements".

A joint communiqué released after the meeting, and read by Tihić, said that that its participants decided to have Bosnia's Prime Minister Nikola Špirić submit information about "which SAA conditions were not met by Bosnia, and for what reason".

A proposal to conduct census in the country without ethnic criteria was not accepted, while there was also no breakthrough in on the state-owned property issue.Tihić said, all parties will send their legal opinions related to efforts to adopt a state property law.

Bosnia's top political representatives also failed to see eye to eye on adopting legislation that would outlaw genocide denial, but agreed that constitutional reform debate should continue after the local elections scheduled for October.
