SARAJEVO, October 5 (FENA) - The decision on the appointment of Branko Petrić as President of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been confirmed today by the Court of BiH.
“In order to duly inform the public, and in relation to irresponsible statements by individuals based on inaccurate assessments, we are informing the public that the Decision on the election of President Petrić has been lawful and that substantive law has been applied to the full extent,” said the CEC.
The CEC member Novak Božičković, Petrić's opponent appealed the decision to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, claiming that the Election Law of BiH has been violated as it defines that the CEC member could be elected president only once in a seven-year term, reminding that Petrić has already held this position in the past.
Božičković said he would respect the decision of the Court of BiH. The new president of the Central Election Commission Branko Petrić took office on October 1.
