15 POLLING STATIONS IN BOSNIA IN ELECTIONS FOR CROATIAN PARLIAMENT

SARAJEVO, Dec 14 (Hina) - The voting in the upcoming elections for the Croatian National Sabor's House of Representatives on the territory of Bosnia-Herzegovina will be organised at 15 polling stations, Tanya Domi, spokeswoman for the OSCE Mission in Bosnia- Herzegovina, told reporters in Sarajevo on Tuesday. According to Domi, the agreement on the number and locations of the polling stations had been reached in direct talks between international representatives in Bosnia, Croatian Government, and the BH Foreign Ministry. In line with that agreement, the electorate will be able to cast their ballots on the following locations: the Croatian Embassy in Sarajevo, and consular offices in Novi Travnik, Usora, Banja Luka, Jajce, Mostar, Livno, Tomislavgrad, Siroki Brijeg, Capljina, Tuzla, Brcko (Ravne-Brcko), Orasje, Bihac, and Prijedor. Domi said international organisations would secure full control over the voting process at all polling stations in the country. We want to ensure 100 per cent control at this election, she said. She added guarantees had been received from the Croatian Government that voters' lists would be publicly available during the voting. The publishing of these lists was one of the requirements set by the international community with the aim of being able to proclaim the organisation of the election on Bosnia's territory democratic and fair. According to the existing decision, the out-of-country voting, including Bosnia-Herzegovina, should begin on January 2 and last two days. (hina) rml
