BOSNIAN ELECTORAL RESULTS TO BE ISSUED THURSDAY

( Editorial: --> 2447 ) SARAJEVO, Sept 23 (Hina) - The results of a general election held in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH) on September 12 and 13 will be issued on Thursday, the spokesman for the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) mission to BH Dardan Gashi told Hina on Wednesday. Earlier it was announced that electoral results might be published on Wednesday, but the head of the OSCE mission himself had said last week the date would be September 23 or 24. The issuance of electoral results is late due to the checking and counting of so called uncertified ballots. These ballots were used by persons whose names had not been on voters lists submitted to polling stations. The data the OSCE will issue tomorrow refer only to the total number of votes won by candidates, not to the appointment of representatives to the state parliament and the parliaments of Bosnia's two entities. The latter data is expected after the Temporary Electoral Commission has confirmed the regularity and results of the elections. (hina) ha jn 231323 MET sep 98
