The HR/EUSR Miroslav Lajčák welcomed the decision of both houses of BiH Parliament to adopt changes of the BiH Election Law, thus enabling all former residents of Srebrenica to vote in this municipality in October 2008 elections, regardless of where they are currently registered. 

“Delegates voting for the changes to the BiH Election Law of both houses of BiH Parliament have demonstrated political maturity and wisdom today. They have taken into account the tragic history of Srebrenica and these amendments to the BiH Election Law have created a frame for fair and correct elections in Srebrenica, within the legal system of BiH,” said HR/EUSR Lajčák.
