ALL POLLING STATIONS OPEN IN MOSTAR

MOSTAR, Sept 14 (Hina) - All of 70 polling stations in eastern and western Mostar opened at 07.00 am on the second day of Bosnia local elections, the OSCE regional office said on Sunday. According to the same sources, the voting has been proceeding with no difficulty this morning. The Mostar city council will not consist of 27 councillors, what was earlier envisaged, but it will include 24 members. Each if city's six municipalities will choose four councillors for the council. Eligible voters living in the central zone of this southern city will vote for councillors in any of the six municipalities. Thus there would be no three councillors from the central zone. Moslems and Croats will be represented by eight councillors each in the city council and members of other ethnic groups can elect eight councillors for that body as well. (hina) mš 141039 MET sep 97
