AEOBiH HOLDS BRANCH ASSEMBLY MEETINGS
|
Association of Election Officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina (AEOBiH)
calls for urgent implementation of tasks foreseen by the recently
adopted BiH Election Law. In order to begin with preparations for
General Elections 2002 it is essential to initiate creation of election
bodies on all levels and to adopt relevant executive acts - particularly
those that regulate funding of election bodies and the voter registration
process. In the process of implementation of these activities AEOBiH
is prepared to offer assistance to election bodies of Bosnia and
Herzegovina on all levels.
From September 4-7 AEOBiH held branch assembly
meetings on Bjelasnica, in Banja Luka, Tuzla, and Citluk. A total
of 198 election officials from all parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina
attended these meetings. New regional bodies were elected and candidates
were delegated to the central AEOBiH bodies. Regional assemblies
paved the way for the AEOBiH Annual Conference which will be held
from 7-9 December at Hotel "Holiday Inn" in Sarajevo.
At the regional assembly meetings workshops
were held which dealt with work plans and budgets of the municipal
election commissions (MEC) for the coming year 2002. It was concluded
that MECs should urgently submit their 2002 work plans and budgets
to the appropriate municipal departments. Association of Election
Officials in BiH also calls for adoption of systematic solutions
to the problem of funding of election bodies and implementation
of election activities.
