ELECTION OVERSIGHTS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED - PACK

( Editorial: --> 0302 ) SARAJEVO, Sept 14 (Hina) - The general elections held in Bosnia last weekend will contribute to the consolidation of the rule of law and the implementation of the Dayton peace agreement, especially Annexe VII which refers to refugee return, the head of a European parliament delegation which monitored the election, Doris Pack, said on Monday. Pack assessed the election as positive on the whole, but pointed out that the oversights which occurred with voter lists during the first election day should not have happened. The European parliamentarians assessed that many people voted with uncertified ballots, as their names were not on voter lists delivered to the polling stations. All this could lead to a situation in which voters, especially refugees and displaced persons, might start losing trust in international organisations scheduling the elections, Pack told reporters.
