Municipal elections would be crucial for the future development of the
situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Significantly higher standards from those
used last year were necessary for the municipal elections which had now been
scheduled for 13 and 14 September. This concerned effective international
supervision and preparations for the implementation of electoral results,
including the appointment of newly elected officials, the statement said.
Bildt also called on the international community to ensure all
necessary support to the holding of the municipal elections in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
