ZAGREB, Jan 18 (Hina) - The National Electoral Commission will on
Wednesday announce the final results of the January 3 parliamentary
election. The calculation of mandates (in line with the D'Hondt
method), to be allocated to parties and coalitions, is underway,
Commission president Marijan Ramuscak told reporters on Tuesday,
adding the already announced election results would not change.
Ramuscak said 44 states had consented to the organisation of
January 24 presidential elections on their territory. Austria,
Bulgaria and Indonesia are expected to give their approval today
and Bosnia-Herzegovina is expected to consent tomorrow, following
a session of the state Presidency.
A total of 152 polling stations will be opened abroad and their
exact number will be known after the decision on out-of-country
voting on Bosnia-Herzegovina's territory is made.
Ramuscak also informed reporters about objections to the
presidential campaign which the Commission has received so far.
The Commission has forwarded to the Constitutional Court a claim by
the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) 1861 on the falsifying of
signatures of support for the presidential candidacy of Anto
Djapic.
The electoral headquarters of independent candidate Zvonimir
Separovic has protested over an article published in 'Jutarnji
list' daily. A journalist at the daily published an article
headlined "Presidential Candidates on the Way to The Hague".
Separovic's headquarters estimates that by presenting his
impressions about Separovic's chances in the election, the
reporter has tarnished Separovic's reputation.
The electoral headquarters of another candidate, Ante Ledic, also
objected to a 'Jutarnji list' article. Ledic's electoral rally in
Dubrovnik was attended by some hundred and not by 15 citizens, as
the daily had reported, the headquarters said.
The National Electoral Commission believes the media are obliged to
follow presidential campaigns in a fair and true manner.
