NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BANJALUKA - Republika Srpska (RS) president Biljana Plavsic pointed out in
an interview given for Christmas' edition of the "Glas Srpski" that Brcko
is an integral part of the RS sovereign territory. "Brcko has a status of
the sovereign territory of RS and, in that regard, there is no difference
between Prijedor and Banjaluka or, let's say, Trebinje and Brcko", stated
Plavsic. Referring to the frequent Muslim military threats, president
Plavsic said that these threats have to be taken seriously and the RS is
going to, if it proves necessary, defend Brcko by all means available.
BIJELJINA - Representatives of the Ministry of Defence and Supreme Staff of
the Army of Republika Srpska (GS VRS) concluded in Bijeljina that they
should work out by the end of January new fundamental sub-legal documents
regulating the process of professionalism and the status issues of the Army
personnel, says a communique issued by the GS VRS. It further says that the
representatives of the General Staff and Ministry of Defence have
considered their commitments stemming from the Decision made by the RS
president at a session of the Supreme Council of Defence, which relates to
the professionalism of the VRS and the supply of its units with equipment.
BANJALUKA - A session of the RS National Assembly Board for economy and
finance was held in Banjaluka upon the initiative by the RS government,
discussing about the measures for providing 1997 budget of the RS.
CLEVELAND - The Western diplomats and US press agree in the assessment that
the next move in Serbia will directly depend on the Serbian President
Slobodan Milosevic. However, neither diplomats nor analysts dare even
anonymously to foresee which move will it be, wondering whether this will
be a peaceful solution of the political crisis, putsch or the imposition of
a state of emergency."In the event that Milosevic's regime persists, Serbia
will be an isolated state bypassed by everyone, while a democratic Serbia
is needed for peace in the Balkans", writes "New York Times"
AMSTERDAM - The official Dutch Informative media focus their attention on
the letter sent by Yugoslavian foreign minister Milan Martic to the OSCE
wherein admitting opposition's victory in a half of the Belgrade
municipalities. But, the media do not hide that the letter was written
under a great and ever frequent pressure by the international community on
Belgrade's regime to accept the OSCE Commission's report and recognise the
opposition victory.
ATHENS - Admitting only a partial opposition's victory at the local
elections, the Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic legalised a fraud in
the counting of votes and added fuel to the flames that have been burning
for months, thus giving a new strength to the Zajedno [Together] coalition
followers, the majority of the Greek media assessed. Greek TV Mega's
correspondent, Makis Muratidis, pointed out that "Milosevic has made a step
forward and two backward by this move".
