Schmidt to attend EP committee's session regarding decision on BiH Election Law

The Dutch MEP and German Bundestag member Boris Mijatovic had sent an open letter to High Representative Schmidt last month regarding his decision to impose changes to the Bosnian Election Law on the election night, asking him to annul it and allow the democratic processes to find a solution to the problem.

They also requested that the German diplomat, who took the Office of the High Representative in BiH last year, clarifies the reasons for this decision before the EP Foreign Affairs Council.

Twenty-six other members of the European, German, Dutch and French parliaments joined the initiative and signed the letter seeking answers from the High Representatives.

Just confirmed: @OHR_BiH will come to the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee on 30 November.

I will repeat my call on him to retract his electoral law changes.

Any changes to BiH's electoral system need to abolish discrimination, not further entrench it.
