Mostar City Council Postpones Address Register Decision Amidst National Interest Dispute

The Mostar City Council has postponed a decision on establishing an address register after the Bosniak Club invoked a vital national interest protection mechanism. The contentious issue involves reassigning addresses from Gnojnice and Lakševina to Ortiješ. The project aims to streamline the city's address system, which has faced confusion due to post-war anomalies. While the City Council's Croatian and Serb Clubs voted against the existence of a vital national interest violation, the Bosniak Club's action forces a review by the Constitutional Court of the Federation of BiH. Mayor Mario Kordić stressed the technical necessity of the register for urban organization, refuting claims of boundary manipulation.
