Talabani, also a leading PUK official, said during a press conference that no cabinet positions had been firmly allocated at this point, apart from the Kirkuk governorship.
“The KDP-PUK agreement should have been made earlier. The negotiations were delayed too long,” Talabani said.
The KDP and the PUK signed an agreement March 4 that, in theory, got the government formation process back on track.
The agreement is designed to be in force for the next four years and acts as a supplement to the initial 18-point agreement developed early last month.
After the agreement was signed by KDP deputy leader Nechirvan Barzani and PUK deputy secretary-general Korsat Rasul, the parties held a press conference and appeared positive about the development.
They said that a committee had been formed to oversee implementation deal.
