History
The Second Špirić cabinet was formed on 20 February 2008, following the resignation and later reappointment of Nikola Špirić.[4] On 1 November 2007, Špirić tendered his resignation in protest of parliamentary reforms imposed by High Representative Miroslav Lajčák. Špirić felt that the reforms would reduce the influence of Bosnia's Serb population. The resignation was deemed by some to be the country's most serious crisis since the end of the Bosnian War.[4]
After the crisis was resolved, he was renominated for the chairman's post on 10 December 2007,[5] confirmed by the Presidency on 27 December 2007 and by Parliament a day later, on 28 December.[6] With Špirić's reappointment, a new cabinet presided by Špirić was officially formed in February 2008, but with little change.[3]
