OSCE TO ANNOUNCE BOSNIAN ELECTION RESULTS FRIDAY AFTERNOON

( Editorial: --> 2895 ) SARAJEVO, Sept 24 (Hina) - The results of the general elections held on September 12 and 13 in Bosnia-Herzegovina will be announced at a special press briefing at 2pm on Friday, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe's mission to BH said on Thursday night. It is expected that the elections results will be presented by mission head Robert Barry. As previously announced, the OSCE will publicise only the number of votes that have been cast for individual parties and candidates but not the breakdown on the seats in the various parliaments. Provisional Election Commission member Mirko Boskovic told Hina that the commission could release the latter information in three to four days, along with an official confirmation of the election results. That will be followed by the constitution of the government bodies, starting, probably, with the BH Presidency. According to the Dayton accords, once the election results are announced by the OSCE, it will be up to the Office of the High Representative to oversee their implementation.
