NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

SARAJEVO - The B-H Presidency today agreed on division of B- H diplomatic- consular bureaus, Standing Military Committee and telecommunications, while an agreement on design of joint bank note requires additional discussions. The president in the Presidency from Republika Srpska (RS) Momcilo Krajisnik, stated that Serb ambassadors would represent B-H in the USA, Russia, France, Australia, India, Egypt and another five countries.

SARAJEVO - The US diplomat Richard Hoolbroke confirmed that the B-H Presidency arrived at agreement on distribution of ambassador posts, so "a Serb will be ambassador in the USA, Muslim in UN, and Croat in Japan". "A solid step forward", as Holbrooke put it, was made by B-H Presidency's agreement on composition and the operations of the Standing Military Committee, and telecommunications.

SARAJEVO - No agreement was reached again on the draft law on passports at the Council of Ministers's meeting in Lukavica. Haris Silajdzic, who chaired over the session, said the Council failed to agree on five contentious points, pertaining to details as the image of passport and caption.

BANJALUKA - Tragically deceased secretary-general of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) for RS, Miodrag Rakic, was buried at the Orthodox cemetery "Sveti Pantelija".

PRIJEDOR - A commemoration was held today in Prijedor for the VRS First Battalion 43th Prijedor Motorised Brigade members, killed in battles waged from June 8 to July 28 on the Grahovo- Glamoc front, whose remains were exchanged on August 4.

HAMBURG - Expectations that the former US envoy for the former Yugoslavia Richard Holbrooke's newest diplomatic mission might bring about essentially new US initiative with a view to fulfil the central provisions of the Dayton agreement, are unrealistic, concluded the German "Tages Zeitung", adding that the two key points in the Dayton agreement remained unchanged.

AMSTERDAM - Reasons why the efforts of the international negotiators in B-H have proved to be non-productive should not be traced only in the Serb, Croat or Muslim resistance, but also in vagueness of the Dayton agreement as the main obstacle for a long-lasting and stable peace, concludes the Dutch paper "Foklstrant". "This agreement made division of B-H, along former front lines, definitive, but some of its provisions left a door open to the creation of the unitary state, planned to be systematically realised through political negotiations."

STOCKHOLM - The most influential Swedish daily paper "Dagest Niheter" concluded that the insistence upon a strict implementation of Dayton accords implied a danger of renewed clashes in RS and Federation of B-H. The paper reminds its readers of recently published article by the Swedish foreign minister, Sverker Ostrem, who believes that "B-H division can bring more stabilisation and peace prospects in the whole of region. "

BANJALUKA - The spokesman of the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) from Banjaluka, Miro Mladjenovic, says that during the preelection activities no rifts are likely, because the SDS work is based upon its Programme and original principles. "In these critical moments, Party's members are unified more then ever", said Mladjenovic at a press conference in Banjaluka, and added that all opposition parties has obviously tried during the past seven years to destabilise the SDS.

BRCKO - The Provisional Electoral Commission in Sarajevo will review 3,500 appeals of residents of Brcko, which the Electoral Appellation Sub- Commission rejected and referred voters to polling stations in the B-H Federation. The head of the OSCE Office in Brcko, James Bansh, announced after his talks with municipal officials that the new verification and final decision would be known on August 14.

BRCKO - An inspection of voters lists in Brcko showed that 60 voters, twice registered for the elections, were missed again from the lists.
