SARAJEVO, March 18 (FENA) - Vice President of the Democratic Front (DF) Dženan Đonlagić said after negotiations on changes to the BiH Election Law, that any model of unequal vote value is unacceptable.
Negotiations that began this morning were between representatives of BiH political parties, led by US Ambassador Michael Murphy, and European External Action Service Director Angelina Eichhorst.
“Part of the conversation we had about the integrity of the election process was conditioned by the Croat Democratic Union to introduce a story about the way of electing members of the Central Election Commission. The second obstacle is that we do not have political representatives from the SNSD, because they hold a control package in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that decision cannot pass without their vote,” Đonlagić explained.
He added that they were told that the HDZ insists that there is no agreement on the integrity of the election process if there is no agreement on the electoral model.
“This format of talks will not give results because the civil parties were not present during the talks on electoral models,” concluded Đonlagić.
Damir Arnaut from Our Party claims that the HDZ has not moved away from the position that the House of Peoples of the PABiH should be included in the election of CEC members.
It is incomprehensible to him, from the point of view of taxpayers' interests, that the EU spent a lot of money in the Citizens' Assembly, which made the same proposal as Our Party, and then started talking about the "ethnically discriminatory model".
