SARAJEVO, January 16 (FENA) - Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Dragan Dragan Čović met today with US Ambassador to BiH Maureen Cormack and EU Special Representative to BiH Lars Gunnar Wigemark to discuss the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the state of ongoing reforms.

They placed an emphasis on the necessary amendments to the Election Law with all the elements that require efficient solutions, in accordance with European standards and the decisions of the Constitutional Court of BiH.

This refers to the determination of the manner of election of members of the BiH Presidency, election of delegates to the House of Peoples of the Parliament of the Federation of BiH, organization of the elections in Mostar, as well as the implementation of a series of international recommendations aimed at improving the efficiency and transparency of the electoral process.

The interlocutors concluded that, in order to find necessary solutions in the forthcoming period, talks among the parliamentary parties should be further intensified in order to secure full implementation of the election results after the general elections in October 2018, thus creating the preconditions for further reform activities that are of vital importance for BiH, the BiH Presidency stated.
