The High Representative Christian Schmidt will in the coming days, and no later than marking the 30th Genocide anniversary in Srebrenica, bring new decisions.
The most important thing will refer to the election law, ie funding for the previously adopted technical amendments to the election law related to the integrity of the election process, writes Attitude.
SCHMIDT is, we will remind, in March 2024. year a package for improving the integrity of the election process in BiH, which referred to the electronic identification of voters, veneers and electronic votes. Previously, the current ruling coalition rejected a similar proposal, which in the procedure sent the SDA club in the PSBiH dealer.
No budget adopted
This decision was already tested in several municipalities and cities in the last local elections, and its full use is planned for the next generally elections 2026. years. However, the current government has not yet adopted the budget for 2025. year, the AIU design submitted to the BiH Presidency are not provided for the purchase of scanners, cameras and other equipment necessary for the implementation of technical amendments to the election law.
Schmidt intends to take things into his own hands, and part of the central banks of BiH, who intended to forward the ruling coalition to the entities, to redirect to finance the implementation of his earlier decision. According to our information, it is planned that a total of 60 million KM be allocated for these purposes, while the remainder of just over 50 million KM would be separated in 2026. years.
Cultural institutions
Central Bank with BiH, SCHMIDT intends to solve the issue of funding seven state-importance institutions – the History Museum of BiH, the BiH History of BiH, the BiH University Libraries, the Libraries of the BIH and the BiH Art Gallery and the BiH Art Gallery and the BiH Art Gallery and the BiH Art Gallery.
Earlier, he instructed the Council of Ministers of BiH to find a permanent solution for the financing of these institutions, but all given deadlines were passed and the solution was never offered. Given the absence of the will state authorities, Schmidt will take advantage of their powers and resolve this issue.
When it comes to both decisions, and especially the implementation of the election process integrity package, there are dilemmas in the part of the international community, which is adopted by the reactions of Milorad Dodik and Dragan Covic, obviously, are not in interest. However, there are many more those who believe that such decisions are necessary and that there are no rational reasons that would represent an obstacle to their adoption, transmits Factor.
