MOSTAR, Oct 14 (Hina) - The Organisation for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) office in Sarajevo is reviewing the
results of elections for the Mostar City Council, the newly-
appointed head of the OSCE Mostar office, David Foley, said on
Tuesday.
The Coalition for Unified and Democratic Bosnia-Herzegovina,
led by the Moslem-dominated Party of Democratic Action (SDA), won 14
seats in the September 13-14 local elections for the 24-seat Council
while the leading Bosnian Croat party, the Croatian Democratic Union
(HDZ), won 10 seats, although the HDZ gained almost 12,000 votes
more than the Coalition.
That prompted the HDZ to lodge a complaint, arguing that
election rules used in Mostar were not in conformity with general
rules applied elsewhere in the country.
Election rules for Mostar were known even before the elections
and voter registration, Foley said. He did not say where there was a
possibility of changing the number of seats in the City Council.
The former head of the office, Edward Joseph, said that the
process of implementing the election results in Mostar had begun on
the day of their announcement, i.e. last Friday, and that new
government bodies should be established within a period of thirty
days.
Joseph stressed the determination of the international
community to implement the election results, threatening sanctions
against all those who might attempt to block that process.
