Bosnian Finance and Treasury Minister Vjekoslav Bevanda refused to give support to the proposal to allocate funds from the accumulated surplus for the preparation and organising of the October elections.

This was the second attempt to allocate the funds from the said source being blocked by the finance minister.

The proposal meant that 12.6 million marks (approx 6.3 million euros) would be allocated for the Central Election Commission to organise the elections planned for October 2, 2022.

Ambassadors of the Quint countries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chairman of Bosnia's Council of Ministers Zoran Tegeltija and Foreign Minister Bisera Turkovic discussed the proposal a day before. Minister Bevanda was also invited but did not appear in the meeting.
