Bosnia's main ethnic parties agree to pursue EU-required reforms
Bosnia's three main ethnic parties, representing the country's Croats, Muslims and Serbs, agreed Saturday to pursue EU-required reforms, mainly that involving the constitution, national television reported. The head of the main Muslim Party of Democratic Action, Sulejman Tihic, and leaders of the Croat Democratic Union and Serb Social Democrats, Dragan Covic and Milorad Dodik respectively, reached a deal on the reforms only three days after the European Union voiced concern that a rise of nationalism in Bosnia could undermine stability in the country. The three, who met in the small northern town of Odzak, agreed in particular to reform the country's constitution and hold a census in 2011, as required by Brussels.
