the Club of representatives of the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) that
after the ratification of the Agreement, RS and Yugoslav Assemblies
reconsider all points of the Article 14 of the Agreement, which stipulates
that the Agreement should be ratified by the B-H Parliamentarian Assembly.
During the first part of the session, adopted was the draft budget and
draft law on implementation of the RS budget for 1997, in addition to draft

SARAJEVO - The president of the Council of Peoples in the Yugoslav
Assembly, Milomir Minic, expressed his pleasure with the ratification of
the Agreement on special parallel relations between RS and Yugoslavia,
saying that "this document shows the true need of the Serbian people". "It
fosters unity of the Serb people and represents a corner stone of the
future relations", stated Minic, who was a guest at the National Assembly
session.
BEOGRAD - The former EU administrator in Mostar, Hans Koschnik assessed in
Belgrade that the Agreement on special parallel relations between FR
Yugoslavia and RS as being "beneficial for the people in RS and is not
violating the Dayton agreement". "If RS and Yugoslavia want to do more for
the economic development of RS, it can be positive, provided that the
authority of B-H is not endangered", stated Koschnik at a press conference
in German Embassy in Belgrade.
SARAJEVO - The co-president from the B-H Federation in the Council of
Ministers, Haris Slijadzic, stated that Sarajevo could rise a question of

in Sarajevo.

Pale with UNHCR Mission chief for former Yugoslavia, Kerol Fuber, who
informed Krajisnik of the programme of visit of the UNHCR head, Sadako
Oggata, scheduled for 14 to 16 April 1997.
CLEVELAND - The Muslim Government in Sarajevo, which sentenced four years
ago a Serb soldier Sretko Damjanovic for murder of five civilians, of whom
two were recently found alive, refused the renewal of the proceeding, for
it does not want to take the responsibility off the accused Serb, writes
the Washington Post. The paper writes that the testimony on the base of
which the verdict was brought "draws many doubts, since, as Damjanovic's
defence claims, Damjanovic statement is given under torture".
