The international community will work with any government that is
ready to implement reforms, the US diplomat told reporters.
He added that all parties had accepted a set of reforms proposed
last week by High Representative Paddy Ashdown.
The reforms envisage enhancing the authority and role of the state
Council of Ministers and transforming it into a real government,
reorganising and integrating the customs system, as well as
changing the tax system by replacing the existing entity turnover
taxes with Value Added Tax (VAT).
