KLEIN ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN ELECTION REGULATIONS IN BOSNIA

( Editorial: --> 0203 ) SARAJEVO, Feb 7 (Hina) - Deputy to the International High Representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Jacques Klein, on Saturday announced the possibility of changing the election regulations and rules in Bosnia-Herzegovina, to the aim of improving the chances of opposition parties at elections announced for this September. Speaking to members of the Croat National Council of Bosnia- Herzegovina assembly on Saturday, Klein said that he would bring eight experts to the country by the end of the month, who had been involved in the drafting of election regulations in European countries with a multi-ethnic population structure. The next elections should enable greater success for political parties in Bosnia-Herzegovina which do not function by nationalist principles, Klein said. He stressed that politics based on naked nationalism should be avoided, adding that it was time politicians began using arguments and ceased using hollow phrases. (hina) lm 071811 MET feb 98
