ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO DECIDE ON MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN BOSNIA ON

ON $ TUESDAY SARAJEVO, Aug 26 (Hina) - The Temporary Electoral Commission is to reach a final decision on Tuesday about whether municipal elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina will be held or not, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) spokeswoman in Sarajevo Agota Cupermann said on Monday. The Electoral Commission especially discussed voters who had been registered on the basis of the P-2 list which allows them to vote in any municipality, notwithstanding their place of residence in 1991. #L# At this moment it was difficult to say what the final decision might be, but if elections on the level of municipalities were canceled, they would be canceled in all municipalities, Cupermann said. IFOR spokesman in Bosnia Bratt Boudreau on Monday confirmed that the first larger group of international observers who would observe the September elections was to arrive in Bosnia on Wednesday. Some 400 out of 1,200 observers are to arrive in Sarajevo who are to be deployed at 29 locations in the country's interior, Boudreau said. IFOR troops are to ensure accompaniment for the transport of 22,500 polling boxes to the centres of local electoral commissions late this week and the rest of the necessary equipment will be transported to the future polling stations in the next few days.
