The United Nations Security Council has followed closely developments in the run-up to these elections and supports the election process as part of the peaceful reintegration of the region. Through the U.N Transitional Authority in Eastern Slavonia the international community has worked hard to meet pre-conditions for successful elections. We strongly urge the residents of the region to stay and take advantage of their rights as citizens of Croatia. By taking part in the elections they guarantee themselves representation in the structure of governance and a future in Croatia. We note that thousands of Eastern Slavonian residents have already registered to vote.
International observers are in place to make sure the voting process is safe and orderly.
The United States will have over 100 election observers and an official delegation in the region in support of the OSCE election monitoring effort. The United States fully supports their efforts.
