SDA SAYS THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS FOR ELECTIONS IN BOSNIA

SARAJEVO, Aug 26 (Hina) - The largest Moslem party in Bosnia, the Democratic Action Party (SDA), asked the Bosnian Assembly to assess whether conditions for holding the elections in line with the Dayton agreement existed. "It is clear that at this moment even the minimal conditions for holding the elections do not exist," SDA spokesman Ismet Grbo told Monday's news conference in Sarajevo. He said that the SDA would carefully analyse the situation in the next few days and make a final decision about participating in the elections. Officials of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) were expected to clearly state whether there existed conditions for the holding of the elections or not by the time they were scheduled to take place, Grbo said. The SDA felt that there should be no possibility of voting on the basis of the P-2 ballot (voting in the municipality where the voter had not lived in 1991), because this would legitimize genocide and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Grbo said. SDA main committee asked the Provisional Electoral Committee to publicize a corrected electoral list for the whole of Bosnia and if all irregularities were not able to be removed, to postpone the date of elections. "We hope that the Provisional Electoral Committee and the OSCE mission will consider our observations," Grbo said. He added that the SDA had not been informed by OSCE that Bosnian refugees in Turkey had began to vote and expressed astonishment at the fact. (hina) lm jn 261605 MET aug 96
