The Head of the European Union Delegation to B&H, Johann Sattler, commented yesterday in Mostar on Milan Tegeltija's decision to resign as President of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) of B&H. 

- I would welcome that move, as the right answer and, I would say, in these circumstances the only possible answer. At the same time, this is an important opportunity for the HJPC to turn a new leaf in its work. We need even more such positive moves, including those we have been insisting on for a long time, concerning amendments to the HJPC Law that will enable checks on the integrity of judicial office holders - Sattler said, adding that citizens express dissatisfaction with the work of the judiciary.

Yesterday in Mostar, Satler handed over a PCR device with accompanying equipment donated by the EU to the management of the University Clinical Hospital (UCH), after which he met with members of the Election Commission of the City of Mostar and then talked to representatives of youth organizations.

He emphasized that the elections in Mostar are an opportunity to turn a new page and a new chapter in that city.

- The elections that will be held in Mostar on December 20th, after 12 years, are great news for all Mostar residents who will have the opportunity to decide who will lead this city and I use the opportunity to invite citizens to come out in large numbers to the polls, he said.
