Among all other things, ambassador Berton highlighted that OSCE, as it did in 2010 and 2014, proposed amendments on Election Law of B&H since the \u201ctrust in the election process in B&H is on the very low level\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chief of OSCE mission, by reminding on European Commission\u2019s recommendations, emphasized that it is urgent to make and enforce these amendments in order to increase the transparency and to restore the trust in the election system as such.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the focus of the Conference was centered around the improvement of Law on Financing of Political Parties, executive director of Transparency International in B&H Ivana Korajli\u0107 presented to the audience the draft proposal of the amendment on previously mentioned Law which has been assembled by the TI in collaboration with official representatives of institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides that, during the first panel which carried the title: \u201cHow to ensure transparent financing of political parties,\u201d participants had the opportunity to listen to and exchange opinions and recommendations with prof. dr. Suad Arnautovi\u0107 who is a member of the Central Election Commission, and Lazar Prodanovi\u0107 who is a representative in the House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second part of the conference beared the title \u201cElection Campaign in B&H Monitoring – 2018 General Elections\u201d.

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the end of the Conference, participants collectively agreed that the advancement of Law on Financing of Political Parties in the upcoming period has to be one of the top priorities of following groups: legislative bodies that are in-charge of this; non-governmental sector and the B&H society as a whole, which jointly should strive to remove existing deficiencies and to embrace the highest democratic and legal standards.<\/span><\/p>\n
