It is obvious that the stability in the ruling coalition after the congress of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the division of that party has been undermined, but in the next few months until the decision on the invitation for membership in NATO, tensions should be kept at a level that will not lead to serious instability, he said. political director of the Bosniak Party (BS) and vice president of the Assembly Suljo Mustafić.

He told "Vijesti" that BS is not neglected in the ruling coalition, and that the minority parties are a factor of cohesion in it.

"The stability has certainly been damaged and that is obvious. Despite all that, I believe that all the political entities that are part of that coalition, I am talking about the SDP and another group, the Social Democrats, and the DPS and of course the minority parties, know that it is wise and stably preserve political stability until the call for NATO. The essence is that for the next few months until the end of the year, the stability and cooperation that should exist, at least the minimum of cooperation within the ruling coalition, and therefore that the obligations of the parliament and the government as executive the authorities are still fulfilling. We think that any instability could create a problem with the call for NATO," Mustafić said.

He added that it is absolutely less important whether early or regular elections will be called after the decision on the invitation.

Asked if he thinks that former SDP officials should be replaced in the government, Mustafić said that it should be decided by DPS and SDP, which were on a single list in the elections.

Asked if BS in the parliament supports all the government's proposals because they agree with them, Mustafić said that his party has an obligation only to the citizens, that is, the voters.

"We have our own party program and coalition agreement, we were not part of anyone's list. The agreement states that we support government proposals that are in line with our program, and we asked for that to be included in the agreement," Mustafić said.
