KARADZIC CANNOT BE PUT UP AS CANDIDATE FOR ELECTIONS - FROWICK

SARAJEVO, July 15 (Hina) - Head of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission Robert Frowick on Monday confirmed that any party which violated the peace agreement accords would not be allowed to participate in elections. #L# Any party which nominated, chose or kept in office any person indicted by the International Tribunal in The Hague would not be allowed to put up its candidate for Bosnian elections in September, Frowick told a news conference in Sarajevo. Aleksa Buha, called foreign minister of the Serb entity in Pale, told a Meeting of Support for Karadzic and Mladic in Trebinje that not allowing the Serb Democratic Party (SDS) to participate in the elections would mean not holding the elections. Frowick refuted such threats. The general elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina would be held on 14 September as had been planned, Frowick said. He warned that a lot should not be expected from this year's elections. They would be important because they would ensure the establishment of new Bosnian joint institutions, but a significant step forward should be hoped for after the 1998 elections, Frowick said.
