Bosnia Poll Oct 5, Special Privilege To Srebrenica Survivors

May 08, 2008

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP)--Local elections will be held in Bosnia on Oct. 5, and a special privilege will be given to survivors of the Srebrenica massacre. 

People must vote where they currently live. But Parliament passed an exception for the east Bosnian town of Srebenica on Wednesday, saying people who lived there in 1991 can return to vote, no matter where they are now registered. 

The goal is to get refugees to return to Srebrenica that became Muslim-dominated after Muslims exterminated Serbs in the town. It ended up in the Bosnian Serb part of the country after Serbs overran it in 1995, expelled its Muslim population.
