	Swiss Diplomat Resists U.S. On Certifying a Bosnian Vote
		Cotti is serving as chairman of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, charged under the Dayton peace accord with overseeing elections in Bosnia if it determines that they can be free and fair.
		Cotti refused to indicate whether minimal conditions to hold elections were now in place, saying he did not want to "make public my personal opinion." But he added that while he would take into consideration the opinions of the nations involved in the peace process, their positions "will not be decisive for us."
		Cotti must make a decision by July 14 if elections are to go ahead, allowing for two months of campaigning, by Sept. 14, the date called for in the Dayton plan.

	Official Says Bosnian Vote Should Be Held as Planned
		Under the Balkan peace plan the official, Flavio Cotti, as chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, was supposed to certify that conditions in Bosnia will allow fair elections before setting a date and supervising the vote.
		But Cotti, who is also the Swiss foreign minister, came under intense pressure from the United States and Europe to give the go-ahead to the elections despite the serious misgivings he and other diplomats had expressed about the wisdom of proceeding.
		But Cotti added that one of the aims of the vote, designed to create a three-person presidency and a Parliament representing all three ethnic groups, was to build joint institutions that would prevent Bosnia from being partitioned along ethnic lines.
