SARAJEVO, July 12 (FENA) - Members of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Amendments to the Election Legislation of BiH at today's two-day session discussed proposals for amendments to the Election Law of BiH related to Chapter 3 - "Voters' Register", Chapter 4 - "Certification and candidacy for elections" and Chapter 5 - "Conducting elections".

Chairwoman of the Interdepartmental Working Group, Alma Čolo (SDA), told reporters that, if there is political will, they can discuss all issues.

She noted that nothing in the BiH Election Law is irrelevant and nothing is just technical.

Speaking about when the Interdepartmental Working Group should complete the work on the preparation of amendments to the Election Law, she said that they have the position of the Monitoring Committee of the Council of Europe that monitors BiH when it comes to implementing the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, and that the deadline is September 1.

She pointed out that she is not optimistic that they can do that until September 1, and that it would be great if they could adopt the amendments to the Election Law by the end of the year, "to welcome the next election year with the amended Election Law."

Bariša Čolak, deputy chairman of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Amendments to BiH Election Legislation (HDZ BiH), said he did not think the solution was in this working group alone, and that it was very important and necessary to hold political talks between political party leaders at the same time.

According to him, this especially refers to the implementation of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the decisions of the Constitutional Court of BiH.

Sredoje Nović (SNSD), Deputy Chairman of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Amendments to the Election Legislation of BiH, said that, when analyzing the proposed amendments, it can be said that probably some of these provisions, "technical", will be taken into account and that it will be possible to reach a consensus on some of these issues.

The session of the Interdepartmental Working Group for Amendments to the Election Legislation of BiH will continue tomorrow, when the proposals for amendments to the remaining chapters of the Election Law of BiH will be considered.
