MOSTAR, 27 Aug (Hina) - The head of the Election Headquarters of
the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Srecko
Vucina, said that the decision of the OSCE Provisional Election
Commission's head, Robert Frowick, to postpone municipal elections,
would have a negative impact on the overall process in Bosnia-
Herzegovina. #L#
'It is very questionable how cantonal and central authorities
would function without the establishment of local bodies of
authority', Vucina told the Croatian news agency Hina.
'We don't know what the process of the establishment of the
Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina will be like, and it is also
uncertain how the Serb entity will react', Vucina said, commenting
on Frowick's decision.
The co-signatories to the Dayton peace agreement are Croatia
and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and 'they should have been
asked during the decision-making'.
The decision on the postponement of municipal elections had
been made to satisfy the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) as the
leading Muslim party, but it placed other parties in an unfavorable
position, Vucina said.
