BELGRADE 16 September 2002
BELGRADE, 16 September 2002 - The OSCE Mission to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) welcomes the constitution today of the municipal assembly of Bujanovac.
"This event is a further step on the road towards full reconciliation between the members of all communities in the region and a contribution to the political process of Southern Serbia", said Roberto Montella, the South Serbia Co-ordinator after the constitutive session of the municipal assembly.
Today newly elected local assemblies and directly elected mayors are in charge of the three municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja.
The OSCE Mission to the FRY is especially pleased that, following local elections in July which were conducted on the basis of proportional representation, the composition of the municipal assemblies reflects the multi-ethnic character of the region.
The OSCE Mission to the FRY congratulates the elected mayors, presidents of the municipal assemblies and counsellors. Remaining committed to the process of normalization of the area, the OSCE Mission to the FRY will continue its engagement in southern Serbia to assist in the consolidation of the political and the social-economic life in the three municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja.
