Members of the Central Election Commission, Bosnia’s top electoral authority, must be protected from undue pressure, Deputy Head of the European Union’s Delegation in Sarajevo Ekaterina Dorodnova said Tuesday during a visit to this institution.
Dorodnova’s visit comes days after a comment by Bosnia Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik on the ethnicity of one of the Commission members which sparked controversies and eventually led the foreign embassies in the country to condemn those comments.
“CEC and its members must be protected from undue pressure,” Dorodnova stressed, adding that “the professionalism is not about ethnicity.”
“Discriminatory and divisive rhetoric has no place in a democratic society,” she underlined.
