ELECTION RESULTS FOR MOSTAR CITY COUNCIL CONFIRMED

( Vidi vijest: 6092 ) SARAJEVO, Oct 27 (Hina) - A transitional election commission in Bosnia-Herzegovina acting within the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe completed the check-up of documents relating to the Mostar City Council election and confirmed previously issued election results, OSCE spokesman Johan Verhayden told reporters in Sarajevo on Monday. Verhayden recalled that the Coalition for Integral and Democratic BH won 14 and the Croatian Democratic Union Party of BH ten representative seats. The check-up of election documents was done at a request of the HDZ BH, but did not mean a renewed counting of votes, he added. There were numerous problems in the implementation of election results in various parts of BH, Verhayden said. Bosnian Serb representatives currently controlling Srebrenica, eastern BH, threatened to arrest five representatives of the Party of Democratic Action elected for the Srebrenica Municipal Council, the OSCE spokesman said. The situation was similar in Bosniak (Muslim)-controlled Velika Kladusa, western BH, he added, where elected representatives of the Democratic National Union were too threatened with arrests. This was a serious issue which Bosnian authorities and all those involved would have to deal with, since the OSCE could not solve the matter alone, spokesman Verhayden concluded.
