The Central Election Commission whose acronym is SIP today called on political parties and candidates to send positive message to potential voters and to refrain from hate speech and offensive symbols.
This year 2.7 million Bosnians have the right to go to the polls. Thirty six (36) political parties, eight coalitions and 12 independent candidates will run in the elections for the country's collective presidency and the national parliament.
The three-member presidency consists of representatives of the three constituent peoples: Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), Croats and Serbs.
Six candidates stand in the election for each Bosniak and Croat member of the presidency, while even 11 candidates will compete for the post of the Serb representative.
