MOSTAR, Jan 8 (FENA) - On Monday in Mostar, Chairman of the HDZ BiH, Dragan Covic, expressed his confidence that amendments to the Election Law of BiH would be adopted by May 7 or 8 this year, so that elections could be called, which are scheduled to be held in BiH on the first Sunday in October this year.
- I am convinced that it will be enough wisdom in BiH to resolve the issue of the Election Law and to deal with it in parallel with many other things that we failed to finish last year - Covic said at the press conference held in Mostar.
Asked what would happen if the Election Law had not been changed before the elections, Covic responded that until then he would exploit all possibilities for that not to fail.
Asked if the coalition partners in the Federation of BiH would reach agreement to convene sessions of the House of Representatives and the House of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Covic said that the answer to the question would be available within seven days from both the parties in power and the opposition with whom he had talked.
On the occasion, Covic declined to comment on the celebration of the January 9 - the Republika Srpska Day, pointing out that the Day will be celebrated in a way the executive and legislative authorities in the RS and those who live there agree upon.
Covic was also asked to comment on as to how the Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic would lobby in Croatia for changes of the Election Law in BiH. He responded that the President of the Republic of Croatia would be on official visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina on 17 and 18 January, declining to speculate on what she would do until then.
- My communication with the authorities in the Republic of Croatia is regular and continuous, and that what I always ask for in the communication is the same to that what I demand for BiH in communication with all the partners throuhout the world: a legitimate representation of constituent peoples, constitutionality in line with the decisions of the Constitutional Court, and to turn to the European future.
