Blockade of cooperation with IFES is an expression of Dodik's intention to manipulate citizens' votes

(Patria) - The use of the mechanism for the protection of the vital interest of Serbs in order to block cooperation with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) is an absurd and infantile reaction by Milorad Dodik, because it has long been clear to everyone that any, even minimal, improvement of the electoral process in Bosnia and Herzegovina is welcome, it was announced from Our Party.

"Dodik's euphoric refusal to cooperate with IFES only shows that Dodik shies away from a fair and honest electoral process. For many years, IFES has been involved in informing and training election administration and voters, especially those belonging to vulnerable categories, in many countries around the world, including Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Dodik's statements, as well as the decision of the parliamentary majority he leads, reinforce suspicion about past and future election results. Therefore, we call on the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, first and foremost, to prevent election theft and manipulation by going to the polls on November 16," it was announced.
