HDZ BiH Central Election Headquarters request to OSCE

The Central Election Headquarters of the HDZ BiH requested that the OSCE stop its election campaign titled “Vote for Changes” and remove posters with this slogan. By using such a campaign slogan and posters, the OSCE Mission to BiH violates the principle of neutrality, a basic principle of the OSCE Mission and PEC. If the posters are not removed, the Central Election Headquarters of the HDZ BiH will request the dismissal of Head of the OSCE Mission to BiH Robert Barry on the grounds of violations of important democratic principles and the mandate of the OSCE Mission to the BiH.
