    Bosnia finally has a new prime minister

    Associated Press – Thu, Jan 12, 2012

    SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Fifteen months after Bosnia's last election, the country finally has a new prime minister.

    In December, the parties that had won the top six places in a national election in 2010 agreed on how to divvy up the prime minister's position and the Cabinet posts.

    On Thursday, Parliament voted 36-2, with 3 abstentions, to approve Vjekoslav Bevanda — a Bosnian Croat and former regional finance minister, as prime minister.

    He now has until the end of January to appoint a Cabinet according to December's deal.

    Power in Bosnia is shared by Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats who rotate key government positions, and their delays have left this poor country without a budget.

    Bevanda said his priorities will be Bosnia's financial stability and winning it EU membership.
