IZETBEGOVIC, ZUBAK, KRAJISNIK ELECTED BOSNIAN PRESIDENCY MEMBERS

SARAJEVO, 18 Sept (Hina) - The president of the Bosnian Presidency in the next two years will be Alija Izetbegovic, the head of the Provisional Election Commission, Robert Frowick, told a press conference in Sarajevo Wednesday. Other two members of the Bosnian Presidency are Kresimir Zubak and Momcilo Krajisnik, he added. #L# The candidate of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Alija Izetbegovic, won 729,034 votes, the candidate of the Serb Democratic Party (SDS), Momcilo Krajisnik, won 690,373 votes, while the candidate of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), Kresimir Zubak, won 342,007 votes. According to Frowick, 1,295 867 voters took part in the elections in the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, while 1,023 819 voters participated in the elections in the Serb entity. Election results for the Bosnian Presidency were still not official since some minor mistakes in the counting of votes were being corrected, Frowick added. In the next three days, the Appeals Subcommission would consider complaints and then make its final decision on the validity of the voting procedure. Asked why it had taken so long to say that the duty of the new Bosnian President would be performed by only one candidate, without rotation in the next two years, Frowick said he had learned about the decision from a senior OSCE advisor only this morning, adding that one should not doubt the advisor's interpretation of the Constitution. The second most successful candidates in the elections for the Bosnian Presidency were Ivo Komsic (the Joint List), who won 38,261 votes, the Party for Bosnia-Herzegovina's candidate Haris Silajdzic, who won 123,784 votes, and the candidate of the Republika Srpska Democratic-Patriotic Bloc, Mladen Ivanic, who won 305,803 votes.
