ZORIC WRITES TO OSCE REPRESENTATIVE IN CROATIA

ZAGREB, Aug 27 (Hina) - The head of the national coordination committee for the preparation and conduct of elections for Bosnian citizens in Croatia, Damir Zoric, sent a letter on Tuesday to the OSCE representative to Croatia in charge of the Bosnian elections, Tobias Wernel, asking for an explanation of the delivery of ballots for some Bosnian municipalities. Zoric said that among the ballots delivered to Croatia were those for the northern municipality of Bosanski Brod, divided between the Serb entity and the Croat-Moslem federation under the Dayton peace agreement. "We have established that the ballots delivered are intended only for the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina," Zoric said, asking the OSCE to immediately send ballots for voters from the Federation-controlled part of the Bosanski Brod municipality. Zoric said that the Croatian commission had also received fewer ballots than necessary for some Bosnian municipalities and urged the OSCE to rectify the error. (hina) vm 271339 MET aug 96
