SARAJEVO, June 24 (FENA) - Speaker of the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bakir Izetbegović (SDA president), told reporters in Sarajevo today after the urgent session of the House was not held, that BiH had missed the deadline for appointing its delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
He recalled that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe granted BiH the deadline for the appointment of a delegation for this body, which is the responsibility of both houses of PA BiH.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the leadership of both houses to convene a session and appoint a delegation but it did not happen, and Izetbegović said that he convened a session for late in the afternoon as he considered that the Speaker of the House of Representatives of PA BiH Borjana Krišto (HDZ BiH) would convene the session of that house during the first part of the day.
The deadline expires tomorrow, June 25, at 10.00 in the morning, and in this way, BiH will be the only member state of the Council of Europe that will not have its representatives in the PACE.
The June session of the PACE is particularly important because it is for the first time after ten years that the new Secretary General of the Council of Europe, as well as the judges of the European Court of Human Rights will be elected, and the 70th anniversary of the Council of Europe will be celebrated.
