Synopsis
Excerpt from Bosnia Elections, a Postmortem: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, September 19, 1996 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10:15 a.m. in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman, chairman of the committee, presiding. Chairman Gilman. Good morning. The meeting will come to order. The purpose of this morning's hearing is to review the results of the elections that were held in Bosnia last weekend. These elections, called for under the Dayton agreement, were to fill offices of the national three-man Presidency of the National House of Representatives and for the assemblies of the Republika Srpska and the Bosnian Croat Federation. While the elections in general were without any serious incident, for which we are all grateful and must commend our IFOR commanders for providing such good security, the preliminary indication is that they solidified the political position of hardline elements within each of the three ethnic groups in Bosnia. Our hearing today is to explore what the meaning of the elections is for Bosnia's future. Will they provide a basis for reconciliation and stability, or do they represent the first steps toward partition and the eventual dismemberment of Bosnia? We need also to focus on a few key questions regarding the elections themselves, including the level of the turnout and whether the Bosnian electorate was truly able to vote in the areas they wanted to vote in. We must also again examine the conditions in which election campaigns were conducted. Was there freedom of association and was there equal access to the media, or were these essential elements of a free and fair process ignored because of the need to press ahead with elections to fulfill the time table drawn up last year? Finally, we must also consider just what the elections mean for the role of the international community. While there seems to be a growing

Bosnia Elections, a Postmortem (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Bosnian elections held in 1996, which were the first democratic elections in the country since 1990 and were held as part of the Dayton peace accords that ended the Bosnian War. The author examines the lead-up to the elections, including the challenges of organizing them in a post-war environment and the concerns of international observers. The author also discusses the results of the elections, which saw the election of hardline nationalist parties in each of the three ethnic groups in Bosnia, and the implications of these results for the future of Bosnia and the region. The book also includes an in-depth analysis of the conditions in which election campaigns were conducted and discusses whether the Bosnian electorate was truly able to vote in the areas they wanted to vote in. Ultimately, the book argues that the elections, while imperfect, were an important step in the peace process and provided a foundation for building democratic institutions in Bosnia.
