AMENDMENTS TO CENTRAL BOSNIAN CANTON CONSTITUTION PASSED

PASSED $ TRAVNIK, July 31 (Hina) - The Central Bosnian Canton assembly, on Thursday adopted amendments to the cantonal constitution which was, in this way, harmonised the (Croat-Moslem) Bosnian Federal Constitution. The amendments, that were passed at a session in Travnik, refer to organisation of towns as units of local self-government and to the number of assembly deputies. However, the cantonal assembly failed to accept proposals for the Canton's coat-of-arms and flag, as Croat members of the assembly regarded that none of three proposals had been acceptable. A bill on cantonal court was not passed at the Travnik session. Croats demanded, for principled reasons, that parity between the number of Moslem and Croat judges at the cantonal court be established, whereas Moslems asked that the number of Moslem and Croat judges be determined in relation to the 1991 census.
