Initiative for replacement of Bosnian Federation president launched

The House of Peoples of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday officially launched an initiative to replace Federation President Zivko Budimir.

Budimir is a member of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) who opposes the government reshuffle, requested by the two Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) parties and the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SDP BiH).

At today's extraordinary session, the upper house adopted with a majority vote a decision to forward the request for Budimir's replacement to the Federation's Constitutional Court. (Hina)
