Berton: Authorities to investigate all allegations of fraud and misconduct

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, October 8 (FENA) - The OSCE Mission to BiH congratulates citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina on exercising their democratic right to vote on 7 October.

While we await the final results, certain key races are clear. Thus we also congratulate those who won and thank all who participated in the vote, including observers who worked to maintain a fair and transparent process.

We are pleased that the elections were genuinely competitive and passed without major incident or disruption, stated the OSCE Mission to BiH.

To echo the statement of the ODIHR Election Observation Mission, however, legal and systemic shortcomings remain, including campaigns segmented along ethnic lines, biased media coverage, and improper efforts to influence voters.  

We call on the competent authorities to investigate all allegations of fraud and misconduct and urge political leaders to take measures to restore citizens’ trust in the electoral process. 

Political leaders must also now ensure that election results are implemented through the formation of legislative and executive authorities at all levels, and address the most important and pressing  issues to BiH citizens.  Constructive political dialog is necessary for any progress to be made.

The OSCE Mission to BiH will remain a strong and reliable partner to BiH’s citizens and institutions.
