NAŠA STRANKA: ONLY ELECTION LAW THAT WILL GUARANTEE ČOVIĆ’S ELECTION IS GOOD TO HDZ

SARAJEVO, MAY 10 (ONASA) – A statement issued by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) after the session of the party’s presidency stated untruths aimed at deceiving the public, and regarding the upcoming elections, the composition of the Central Election Commission, constitutional and electoral reform, a statement of Naša stranka reads.
“Holding a session on Europe Day, and at the same time acting against European values, is a classic hoax to the citizens of BiH, because none of what HDZ advocates has anything to do with European values. HDZ calls for stabilization of the political situation by reaching an agreement HDZ, with its proposals for the Election Law, which promote unequal value of the vote and an obvious effort to secure a member of the Presidency from parties that gather in the Association of Citizens called the Croatian National Assembly. In the Federation, Bosniaks and Croats are elected and all citizens of the Federation of BiH vote for one of them, i.e. Serbs, members of national minorities, Others. Members of the Presidency are not representatives of the people, but citizens, so the invitation on the constitutivity and representation of the people, again, deception and deception and the public. The proposal to decide on the member of the Presidency in several cantons with a majority Croat population is not a European value, but on the contrary, it is contrary to the principle of equal suffrage. Amendments to the Election Law are one of the priorities that’s right. However, the law must be in accordance with applicable international conventions and based on respect for the active and passive suffrage of all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as required by the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The proposed changes are far from that, especially in the context of the HDZ’s proposal to include nationality in citizens’ personal documents. The HDZ can consider whatever it wants on every issue, but it cannot challenge the decisions of the courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Court of BiH confirmed that the members of the CEC were elected in accordance with the law, and at the very least it is incorrect to place such statements in public. Again, deception. There are legal remedies in cases of electoral theft, and to link the composition of the CEC to theft and claim that the CEC “made itself available to radical unitarian Bosniak factions to abolish equality and constitutionality” is dangerous and unsubstantiated. The elections were called in accordance with the existing Election Law, on the basis of which Dragan Čović was twice elected to the Presidency and which was not deficient at the time and did not violate the rights of Croats. Manipulations are the only thing left for the HDZ, given the fact that they have been denied support from the international community, that is, the part of Europe that truly promotes human rights and wants Bosnia and Herzegovina to progress on the path to the European Union. However, exposing lies and deception is a priority task of all those who want a normal and European BiH. Citizens must be provided with arguments, instead of the well-packaged phrases we have been listening to for several years,” the statement reads.
