Serb Democratic Party delegate accuses SNSD of blocking lower fuel prices in Bosnia
Serb Democratic Party delegate Želimir Nešković claimed SNSD representatives blocked an excise duty vote, preventing fuel price cuts of up to 50 feninga per liter in Bosnia.
Želimir Nešković, a delegate from the Serb Democratic Party in Bosnia and Herzegovina's House of Peoples, accused Nikola Špirić and lawmakers from the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) of denying citizens cheaper fuel. According to Nešković, SNSD delegates staged a walkout during a parliamentary session, preventing a vote on amendments to the national excise duty law.
The proposed legislative changes aimed to reduce fuel costs by up to 50 feninga per liter amid a recent surge in prices. Nešković stated that the walkout directly blocked the passage of economic relief measures at a critical moment for consumers. SNSD representatives have not yet issued an official response regarding their departure from the session.
