Najeeb told Iraqi News “The Parliament’s chairmanship will meet with the parliament blocs’ leaders in presence of the Finance Committee’s members to confer about the pending points concerning 2013 budget.”

The Kurdistani Alliance is not the only side that has demands related to the share of the Kurdistan Region from the budget but the Iraqiya Slate also has demands where its MPs confirmed that they will not vote on the budget if the political consensus would not be there.”
