Following an hours-long meeting sponsored by the country's tripartite presidency, the leaders of the seven parties agreed that a new Prime Minister, or Chairman of the Council of Ministers, should be a Serb. According to earlier announcements, this would be Nikola Spiric of the Party of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD).
The Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nebojsa Radmanovic, told reporters that Spiric would be formally proposed for the post on Thursday.
Radmanovic said that agreement had also been reached on the distribution of ministerial posts according to the ethnic structure, but that the parties would propose their candidates for the posts at a later date.
In addition to the SNSD, the new coalition would include representatives of the Democratic Action Party (SDA), the Party for Bosnia-Herzegovina (SBiH), the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BiH), the HDZ 1990, the People's Party (NSRZB) and the Democratic Progress Party (PDP).
