Croatian president to stay in Livno, says High Representative

Plenkovi will stay in Livno tomorrow, and the Croatian president Zoran Milanovi will bypass the visit to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, reports Avaz.

Milanovi was in Jajce two weeks ago to mark the 27th anniversary of the Maestral military operation.

Yesterday, Plenkovi admitted that the government of Croatia was directly involved in the negotiations with the High Representative Christian Schmidt on changes to the Election Law in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We talked with High Representative Schmidt for months. Plenkovi said so.

The confession by Andrej Plenkovi is a direct acknowledgment of the allegation by Klix.ba in July that the changes to the electoral law that High Representative Christian Schmidt planned to impose came from Zagreb, more precisely from the Croatian Minister of Foreign Affairs Gordan Grli Radman.

The text of the amendments to the Election Law was sent by Grli Radman at the beginning of July, according to the portal Klix.ba. After that, lawyers from Schmidt's office at the OHR worked on the document.

The High Representative did not impose the planned changes to the Electoral Law except in the technical part, but there is a possibility that he will do so after holding the General Elections scheduled for October 2.

The Office of the High Representative has never denied the allegations that the proposed changes came from the Government of the Republic of Croatia, and now this has been officially confirmed. The question is how the high representative decided to consult only one side and whether in such conditions he was able to preserve the objectivity and neutrality that has been respected for a long time.

Official Zagreb has also confirmed that there is interference in the internal affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
