JELAVIC CALLS ON BOSNIAN CROAT PARTIES FOR MEETING ON ELECTIONS

MOSTAR, Oct 22 (Hina) - The Croat member of the three-man Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ante Jelavic, on Sunday called on Croat parties in this country to hold a meeting in Mostar on Monday "in the wake of the most recent decisions of the international community and announcements on the change of the internal organisation of Bosnia-Herzegovina." According to a statement issued by Jelavic's information office, the meeting will focus on the regulations by the temporary electoral commission of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on the election of representatives into the Bosnian Federation's House of Peoples. The regulation significantly increased the number of Serb members, while the biggest number of Croat representatives is to be elected in counties where Croats are currently a minority people. The decision "takes away the legal right of the Croat people to elect their legal and legitimate representatives to the Bosnian Parliaments House of People's which is the only body in which they can protect their vital national interests and rights, on the level of the Bosnian Federation," the statement said.
