SARAJEVO, April 7 (FENA) - The OSCE Mission to BiH welcomes that the FBiH Parliament is holding a session in these challenging times.
The role of the Parliament is fundamental in ensuring that citizens' representatives are heard and can provide crucial inputs and oversight of governmental responses, OSCE stated.
It is understandable that some procedures will be simplified during a crisis, but what is essential is that the key principles of a democratic society are upheld, OSCE announced.
The COVID-19 pandemic will have far-reaching social and economic consequences. The role of representative assemblies is fundamental to ensure that all voices of society are included in defining responses to this crisis.
In today’s world, it is possible to maintain the full functionality of collective bodies without the need to physically convene. We welcome the efforts of the FBiH Parliament to rapidly amend its rules of procedures to guarantee both the functionality of the Institution and the safety and health of its members and employees.
