Speaking about the solution for elections in Mostar, the first man of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) in Herzegovina Edin Mušić reminded of the previously offered model that his party and SBB proposed to the national Parliament in cooperation with the Center for Peace. According to Mušić, that model is good for Mostar and entirely respects the decision by the Constitutional Court of BiH.
“I think that was a good model that would fully respect the decision by the Constitutional Court of BiH. It defined the election of city councilors from city electoral areas in a way requested by the Constitutional Court of BiH, given that a central zone would also be introduced as a new electoral unit, which was also problematized in the decision by the Constitutional Court of BiH. There is also a suggestion to conduct elections for the mayor in a special way, i.e. that the citizens make the choice through the nomination of the mayor and two deputy mayors, and that the final decision is reached in the City Council afterwards,” Mušić said.
Music added that the public knows that there was no agreement.
“Opinions about this vary a lot, starting from the opinion that the decision by the Constitutional Court of BiH should be applied in a consistent manner (HDZ BiH) to the ambitions (SDA Mostar) to solve the issue of the arrangement of the city of Mostar through the adoption of a statute, together with electoral rules,” Mušić said.
When asked to comment on the statement by the President of the City Board of SDA Salem Marić, who said that he is not optimistic regarding the agreement between SDA and HDZ BiH, Mušić said that he is an optimist.
“Throughout life, I am observing things realistically and in this case there is a real optimism. We must find solutions that would enable the citizens of Mostar to have elections, including the reaction by the high representative,” Mušić concluded.
