IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTION RESULTS WILL BE CRITICAL - GELBARD

MOSTAR, Sept 14 (Hina) - Elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina are going on much better than anyone in the international community has expected, a U.S. special envoy, Robert Gelbard, has said. On Sunday Gelbard visited the polling station in the central zone of Mostar where voters cast their ballots for authorities in one of the six Mostar municipalities. He predicted that implementation of election results would be critical and added that they must be realised. Gelbard said that representatives of authorities had committed themselves to the implementation of election results, and added that his country and the entire international community would do their best to convince Bosnian parties of the importance of that action. On Saturday the American diplomat visited voting stations in Brcko and Drvar. (hina) mš 141548 MET sep 97
