Changes to the law were proposed by a bipartisan committee, established by parliament in line with a recommendation made by the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) following the 2001 parliamentary elections.
Izmene zakona predložio je dvopartijski odbor koji je formirao parlament u skladu sa preporukama Kancelarije OEBS-a za demokratske institucije i ljudska prava (ODIHR) posle parlamentarnih izbora 2001. godine.
