Erdogan to have election rally in Sarajevo - reports

"We will come together with our citizens from European countries to a venue in Bosnia," Erdogan said, according to the Sarajevo-based Klix website, which cited the Turkish daily Hurriyet.

According to the report, Erdogan added that he was convinced Turkish citizens would continue campaigning in those European countries where they live.

Hurriyet writes that the rally in Sarajevo should be held on May 20, but that nothing has been officially announced yet.

Early parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled for June 24 in Turkey.

These will be the first elections since last year's referendum on constitutional changes, which created the basis for giving more power to the president.

But these new powers will only come into force after the upcoming presidential election.

German, Austrian and Dutch authorities previously banned Turkish politicians from holding campaign rallies in their countries, and explained this with "concern for the public order."
