Bosnia local elections set for October 6

(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, 11 MAG - Local elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be held on October 6. The Central Election Commission announced this in Sarajevo, underlining that the vote will take place in compliance with changes recently imposed on the Bosnian election law by International High Representative Christian Schmidt.
    So far, there has been no reaction in Republika Srpska to the announcement about the October vote, and the Bosnian Serb leadership's decision is awaited to see whether it will hold the local elections while still complying with Schmidt's new rules or instead confirm the rift and organize an independent vote in the entity.
