NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BANJALUKA - On the occasion of the death of a famous scientist and
politician, Nikola Koljevic, a commemorative session of the state bodies,
organisations and associations of Republika Srpska (RS) was held in Banski
Dvor in Banjaluka. The commemorative session which was attended by the
nearest family of the deceased Koljevic, was opened by the RS vice-
president, Dragoljub Mirjanic.
BANJALUKA - The recent vice-president of RS, Nikola Koljevic, was among the
Serb civilian elite which, with an enormous civilian courage in the
occurrences in Sarajevo and Bosnia, and under different and unprecedented
pressures, was preserving and preserved for the better times the flames of
the Serbdom by which afterwards a torch of freedom and democracy was
lighted, stated the president in the Presidency of the Dayton B&H, Momcilo
Krajisnik, at a commemorative session held in Banjaluka. As he said, Nikola
Koljevic was one of the Serbs who have even at the most difficult times
been preserving and nurturing the Serbian culture, and the fact that he was
a very successful professor and far and wide known scientist did not
alienated him from his people and made him feeling less Serb.
BANJALUKA - With the highest state honours and a religious rite, the recent
vice-president of RS, Nikola Koljevic, was inter buried on the Orthodox
cemetery " St. Pantelija" in Banjaluka. The funeral was attended by
numerous relatives, friends, associates and several thousands of citizens
of Banjaluka. Together with Nikola Koljevic's body, the posthumous remains
of his son, Djordje, and father-in-low, Luka Calic, which were exhumed from
a cemetery in Sarajevo, were inter buried in the family tomb.
BRCKO - Under the SFOR's protection, ten Muslims reentered the village of
Gajevi in RS and continued with constructing of 35 houses, thus blatantly
violating an agreement on a two-day break of works. The deputy chief of the
Police Station in Brcko, Radomir Marjanovic, confirmed that on January 28
as well as the day before there was no protest gatherings by the Serbs.
BANJALUKA - The spokesman of the UNHCR Office in Banjaluka, Mans Nyberg,
expressed his fears because of the increasing of tensions in the village of
Gajevi, in the Municipality of Lopari, caused by ever frequent Muslim
intrusions.
BRUSSELS - The Belgian media focused their attention on a St. Sava liturgy
which was led by His Holiness the Patriarch of the Serbs, Pavle, along the
streets of Belgrade, pointing out that the Serbian Orthodox Church has for
several times supported the students' protest. By the broadcasting of the
St. Sava liturgy which gathered about 300,000 Belgradins, the Belgian TV
Networks and newspapers remind the public and readers that the Patriarch,
Pavle, backs the war leaders of Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadzic and
general Ratko Mladic.
