After discussion by CEC members, this point was adopted.
The number of voters with a cross section on July 22 is 100,457, and they would be distributed by constituencies.
After several meetings of distant positions, the leaders of HDZ and SDA parties, Dragan Covic and Bakir Izetbegovic, signed a political agreement on holding elections in the largest city in Herzegovina on June 17th, Klix.ba news portal reports.
