GHALI'S REPRESENTATIVE VISITS MOSTAR

MOSTAR, 10 July (Hina) - U.N. Secretary General's special representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iqbaul Riza, on Wednesday visited Mostar. Riza held separate talks on the recent elections with western Mostar mayor Mijo Brajkovic, EU Administration officials and Muslim representatives in the eastern part of the town. #L# Western Mostar mayor Brajkovic said after the talks that he had informed Riza about several irregularities in the election procedure. Twenty-six extra ballots had been found at the polling station in Bonn and a bag with more than 6,000 ballots had been lost in Switzerland, Brajkovic said. There were cases where people with the same names and surnames had voted both in Mostar and Bonn or Stockholm, Brajkovic said, calling on the EU Administration to restore legal security in the city, which, he said, was threatened. The U.N. Secretary General's representative Riza said he believed that the European Union was impartial, and that its decisions would be in the interest of all Mostar residents.
