Srdjan Radulj, BiH Deputy Minister of Justice, drew attention in recent statements to the issue of election fraud, and called on the Central Elections Commission and other authorities to revise the BiH Law on Elections.
He called on all citizens to report irregularities in connection with the elections and thus contribute in very real terms to making the elections fully democratic.
“Democratic and fair elections are something that make BiH a part of contemporary political systems, but such behaviour jeopardises the election process and deserves the severest punishment,” Radulj said.
He said that distorting the will of BiH citizens by illegal means by anyone must be prevented. “I expect the BiH Prosecutor’s Office to find the perpetrators and punish them in keeping with the law as soon as possible,” Radulj said.
He said that the Central Electoral Commission in the past rightfully pointed out shortcomings in the Law, but despite this there was no agreement among MPs on just what changes to the Law to make.
“After these elections are over, the Law should be analysed in full and amendments should be adopted so that the next local elections would not be conducted in keeping with the present law,” Radulj said.
