Citizenship in Brcko District?
Brčko District (pronounced [br̩̂t͡ʃkɔː]) in
northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina is a neutral, self-governing administrative
unit, under the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is formally part of
both BiH entities: the Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The seat of the district is the city of Brčko.
The Head of the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and
Herzegovina today called upon the citizens of Brcko District to determine their
citizenship before 28 August 2014.It’s a condition of vote in the upcoming
general elections.
He reminded citizens in Brcko District that
they need to opt for one of the entity citizenships to be able to exercise
their right to vote and run in the election. The citizens have one month left
to act. They can do so in the office of the Brcko District Government or in 14
smaller offices across the District. This is an important issue. Citizens will
be unable to fully enjoy their democratic right to vote because they fail to
acquire entity citizenship
The Election Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina
stipulates that a citizen of the country who is registered to vote in the Brcko
District shall have the right to vote for the Members of the Presidency of BiH
and the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH.
