IC press conference in Sarajevo
International organizations held a press conference in Sarajevo. The OSCE-led PEC extended rule 7.16 on property law violations by political candidates. OSCE spokesperson Alexander Nitzsche informed that the reason for extending the rule was the poor record of property law implementation in many municipalities. The PEC informed that SDA candidate Abdulah Delibasic of Kakanj and Adnan Talic, a Party for BiH candidate, had violated this rule because they had not vacated property that was not theirs, thus disqualifying themselves from participating in upcoming local elections. The OHR congratulated the IMC operation closing TV Erotel, as well as thanking SFOR for providing security for the implementation of this IMC decision last week. The OHR and HRT technicians reconfigured the broadcasting system, which is a big step forward in the establishment of BiH Federation TV, OHR spokesperson Alexandra Stiglmayer said.

A document, revealed during a current Sarajevo Canton court proceeding against three senior officials of the Central Bank, proved the accuracy of Avdic’s allegations against Alispahic. According to this Association, this shows that certain Sarajevo Canton justices are corrupt and under the total influence of the ruling oligarchies.
