Enumerating what the international community had done so
far in the preparations and the course of the elections, Farrand
said that the OSCE had deployed 2,500 observers all over Bosnia,
SFOR had brought in additional staff to help with the elections.
Farrand asked whether the local authorities had done
everything for everyone to be ready for the elections.
Spokesman for SFOR multinational division North, Jim
Cronin, called all citizens to vote, adding that SFOR would help
OSCE to have the elections pass without difficulty.
SFOR would be ensuring polling stations and the freedom of
movement, especially in the zone where 4,000 voters were expected
to arrive from the Bosnian Federation.
Spokesman for OSCE office in Tuzla, Paul Haskins, explained
why 2,285 voters had been added to the list of voters, for whom
it had been established that have been omitted from the lists,
due to a computer error.
The executive authority would, according to Haskins, be
established according to the electoral results.
