NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

SARAJEVO - The president of RS Biljana Plavsic stated in an interview for the Serbian Television that in last days the "correct relations" between the leadership of RS and representatives of the international community in B&H were established, foreign Ambassadors and diplomats. While talking about the essence of the decision of the international arbitrator for the region of Brcko, the president Plavsic stressed that "the final decision in March next year ought not worry us. Brcko is within the borders of RS, that is the city in RS". For the Agreement on special parallel connections between RS and FR Yugoslavia, the president Plavsic said that "she regret for setting up special connections between members of one nation and for what is anticipated by Dayton's Agreement to be given for ratification in the Parliamentary Assembly of B&H".

SARAJEVO - The government of RS called all state organs, the republican governing organisations, public institutions, state and other enterprises and institutions, public workers and individuals on strict and compulsory implementation of the Law on use of flag, coat-of-arms and anthem, and the Law on official use of the language and alphabet.

BRCKO - The president of the Municipal Board of the Serbian Democratic Party in Brcko Simo Kojic stated that the announcement of the postponement of the municipal elections in the region of this municipality "is out of Dayton agreement and that it delays the peace and freedoms which the whole world is declaratively supported". "Not holding elections would mean putting Brcko and whole RS in subdued position, because there is nether an act nor an event by which in this city in the past period is violated the Peace Accord" - concluded Kojic.

BANJA LUKA - The president of the Serbian Party of Krajina and Posavina Predrag Lazarevic assessed the announcement of delaying the municipal elections in Brcko as "ultimately unfavourable" for RS.

BANJA LUKA - The Socialistic Party of RS /SPRS/ warned that the announcement of delaying the local elections in Brcko and identifying the situation in this Serbian city the same as in the divided Mostar represent the detrimental calculations and blackmails. At the press conference in Banja Luka the president of SPRS Zivko Radisic stated that the elections in Brcko can and must be held in the same time as in all other municipalities in RS.

AMSTERDAM - In the West was started the media campaign for separating the political leadership of RS at all levels, before the local elections, to which the Dutch media are being joined. In the bulletins of the organisations which work along with OSCE and European Commission, as Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, great attention is paid to the possibility of reaching the division of votes in the Serbian municipalities in two or three fractions so the unique acting of the Serbian national parties would be disabled.
