Bosnian Council of Ministers

Bosnian Council of Ministers, the country's state-level executive government, voted on Thursday in favour of a construction of a new gas pipeline from Serbia.

The so-called Eastern Interconnection will bring natural gas to cities and towns in the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity.

Speakers at the US Senate's subcommittee on Europe and regional-security cooperation on Wednesday blamed Bosnian Serb supremo Milorad Dodik for the current stalemate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was preventing the formation of a new state government and blocking the NATO integration process.

Flowers were lowered from Mostar's Old Bridge on Tuesday night at a commemoration for the victims of the 1990s wars in the Balkans held as part of an event to mark the 15th anniversary of the bridge's reconstruction.

The Serbian government and the Bosnian Council of Ministers held a joint session in Sarajevo today and agreed to strengthen cooperation.

The two countries will also undertake joint activities in the economic sphere, according to reports.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Thursday that the stability of Bosnia-Herzegovina is "of great importance for Serbia."

It is the condition for the economic progress of both countries, he said, announced that the government of Serbia and the Bosnian Council of Ministers would hold a joint session in Sarajevo on November 4.

After a nine-month delay, the Bosnian Council of Ministers has adopted a justice sector reform strategy, which should unblock European funds needed for war crimes investigations and prosecutions.

The names of between 15 and 20 persons suspected of attacking the Serbian PM in Potocari "will be sent to the Bosnian Council of Ministers in the coming days."

Bosnian Council of Ministers chair Denis Zvizdic "instructed members of the RS Interior Ministry (MUP) not to protect the Serbian prime minister in Potocari."

Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's Prime Minister, has the lowest salary and least properties out of all the leaders of the Western Balkan region.

In his property report, Vucic revealed that he receives a monthly salary of only €1,000 and owns 30m2 apartment. He does not own a car, or have any savings, apparently.
