SARAJEVO - The SDS Main Board forwarded a complaint to Election Appeals Subcommission in which demands rechecking and correction of the RS parliamentary elections results, which are established with yesterdays decision of the Provisional Election Commission (PEC), about provisional confirming of the elections. As it was stated in the explanation of the complaint "after the examination of provisionally confirmed results it is easy to see that PEC accepted ballots from abroad which did not had proper i.e. compulsory documentation as valid, what is against the PEC rules and regulations."
