NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BEOGRAD - President of Republika Srpska (RS) Biljana Plavsic, expressed for
Sunday's edition of "Nasa borba" her regret regarding SFOR action in which
the Serb Radio-TV (SRT) transmission towers were seized. While assessing
that the beginning of the implementation of the Belgrade agreement was
successful, she expressed her regret because of the newest SFOR actions
"contending the right of the people in RS to follow TV programme
consecutively from studio in Pale and studio in Banjaluka."
SARAJEVO - The employees of the SRT studio Srpsko Sarajevo sent, regarding
the occupation of the SRT and blockage of the broadcast, a letter to high
representative Carlos Westendorp, his deputy Jacques Klein and SFOR
commander general Eric Shinsheki, informing them that the SRT employees
went on a general strike. The letter said that the SRT journalists in
studios in Srpsko Sarajevo and Bijeljina and in the information-technical
offices in Belgrade and Trebinje went on strike on October 4, at
10:00 am, protesting the denial of a fundamental right to work
and right to information of the public in RS and beyond.
BEOGRAD - A Belgrade publicist and RS senator, Dragos Kalajic, assessed
that he was not surprised by violent closing of the electronic skies for
the Serbian free word and picture for such a freedom has been taken away
long time ago to all peoples under the shadow of the "New York Usurer
International". He added that violence against RS media showed that "truth
is on the Serbian side", and mentioned that the similar thing has been made
to "Russian patriots who fight non-Russian authority".
SARAJEVO - The member of the OSCE Provisional Electoral Commission (PEC),
Slobodan Kovac, confirmed that the PEC announced electoral results for
additional 18 municipalities in RS, and added that results for the
remaining 36 municipalities in RS and the Federation of B-H would be known
on Monday, October 6. On October 4, the PEC announced electoral results for
Prijedor, Doboj, Novi Grad, Ugljevik, Srpski Kljuc, Srpski Drvar, Petrovo,
Loapre, Srpski Petrovac, Cajnice, Samac, Sipovo, Sekovici, Mrkonjic Grad,
Srpsko Gorazde, Teslic and Knezevo.
BRCKO - The head of the Public Security Centre (CJB) in Brcko, Mico Simic,
stated that the accusations by Brcko supervisor Robert Farrand that the RS
police was not successful in providing security for the residents of the
bordering city zones in Brcko and freedom of movement as "astonishing and
completely unfounded". He emphasised that "the meeting of heads of Brcko
CJB police stations, attended by RS interior minister Slavko Paleksic and
his deputy Momcilo Mandic and advisor Milenko Karisik, assessed that the
security situation in the Brcko area was satisfactory."
CRVENKA - A Serb writer from Temishvar and only representative of Serb
minority in the Romanian Parliament, Slavomir Gvozdenovic, called the
Serbian people in RS not to destroy by its divisions everything for which
so many lives of our brothers and sons were given in a fight for elementary
right to survival. "All those Serb divisions and disputes hurt the Serbs in
Romania, and due to the latest events in RS they are embittered and
disturbed", stated Gvozdenovic, and added that every dispute must be solved
through discussion.
