SARAJEVO, 02 July 2024 - The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly condemns the verbal attack by Sanja Vulic, SNSD Caucus Chair to the BiH House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly (PA) against BiH Central Election Commission (CEC) member Vanja Bjelica-Prutina.

Dissatisfaction with the outcome of the Court proceedings and institutional decisions should be addressed through the appropriate use of institutional remedies rather than through offensive language and personal insults. We call on all elected officials to demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism and to refrain from such actions that are unprofessional, anti-democratic and dangerous. We stand with Vanja Bjelica-Prutina and the CEC in support of their important work.
