A statement like that shows how seriously people are taking the Bosnian elections set for September, elections seen as crucial to the country's future.

They should be barred from running in future Bosnian elections.

Bob Dole was right last week when he said the Bosnian elections would be "a fraud with the American stamp of approval."

They push back the international efforts to prepare for Bosnian elections, which are due to take place Sept. 14.

No one would suggest that the Bosnian elections, a crucial element of the Dayton peace accord, are going to be a paradigm of democracy.

Even so, Western diplomats said a resolution roughly along these outlines may be the only formula left that would allow the Bosnian elections to take place.

The WP 's internatioal lead says Bosnian elections didn't go the way Western officials had hoped.

So it is in a context of international weakness that the Bosnian elections are taking place.

But we have to live with the outcome of the Bosnian elections.

Finally, I would hope the Cardiff summit looks forward to the Bosnian elections.
