SARAJEVO, March 13 (FENA) - The decision of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly on the election of new members of the Central Election Commission was made on the basis of a concrete provision of the BiH Election Law, in accordance with the BiH Constitution and the decision-making procedure in this House, stated today the Party of Democratic Action (SDA).
The SDA states that the accusations of the HNS, or HDZ BiH, that the law and procedures have been violated are not based on facts.
Article 2 of the BiH Election Law stipulates in a very clear manner that, unless a list of candidates for CEC members is submitted within 30 days before the expiration of the mandate to current CEC members, the House of Representatives proposes and appoints new members.
The party points out that since the mandates of individual CEC members expired not just 30 days ago but more than a year ago, the House of Representatives had the full legal right and obligation to appoint new CEC members.
“Our MPs voted in favor of the proposed decision in order to preserve the functionality of this extremely important institution, at a time when the SNSD is trying to block the entire institutional order, including the appointment of new CEC members.
It was expected that in such a situation, the SNSD would remain in its position not to participate in the decision-making process, but it is quite unexpected that the HDZ BiH openly joined this policy by leaving the session. If the HDZ believes that decisions in this country should not be made on the basis of very clear provisions of the law, but only on the basis of their political needs, then they have a problem with the law and not with the SDA,” it is said in the statement.
The SDA says that various decisions, such as yesterday's rejection of the conclusions on the state of the judiciary, or the announced overturning of the adopted law on the termination of the mandate of the HJPC members, which the SNSD and the HDZ made in coordination, although they were not something the SDA would even support, “we as a political party have not threatened with the disintegration of cantons or entities, nor we have announced any blockades.”
“We reject the threats made by some HDZ officials about the disintegration of the state, because of this decision this is fully lawful, as totally unacceptable, and we remind such individuals that some of today's Hague convicts threatened with disintegration of Bosnia and Herzegovina in that same BiH Parliament building, and we know where they are today,” the SDA said.
