NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

SARAJEVO - No new agreement on Radovan Karadzic's retreat from the media came out of the meeting with US diplomats Richard Holbrooke and Robert Galbard, but I expressed my readiness for compliance with the agreement reached on this issue on August 18, 1996, stated the president in the B-H Presidency from Republika Srpska (RS) Momcilo Krajisnik. He said that during his Belgrade talks, attended by Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, he proposed reactivation of the agreement on Karadzic's retreat, in order to calm down the tensions. "Holbrooke and Galbard considered this agreement was violated, but I said that Karadzic reacted as soon as his criminalisation started and when the international elements blamed him for many things which did not take effect", Krajisnik explained.

BEOGRAD - The former US envoy for the Balkans, Richard Holbrooke, stated that the president in the B-H Presidency from RS, Momcilo Krajisnik, personally pledged that Radovan Karadzic stay out from media. "We did not accept Krajisnik's proposal on a new agreement, because one was already signed on July 18 last year", Holbrooke reminded at a press conference in Belgrade. The US diplomat added that Krajisnik explained that he cannot assume the obligation of the implementation of the agreement because he did not sign it in capacity of the Serb representative in the B- H Presidency.

BANJALUKA - SFOR troops blocked the buildings of the RS Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) special units, in Banjaluka at in the Rakovacka Bara and the community of Obilicevo, near MUP school, at about 11:00hrs - this was confirmed in the Public Security Centre in Banjaluka. According to the same source, these actions by SFOR represetnatives were carried out in other places in RS, while SFOR South-West Sector Command in Banjaluka did not give any statement or announcement.

SARAJEVO - SFOR troops did not find undeclared arms during their regular arms control carried out in the MUP Anti-Terrorist Brigade 6th Unit Base in Rakovacke Bare, near Banjaluka, stated the special police brigade commander Goran Saric. According to him, such controls are regular and in accordance with the Dayton agreement. "The Anti-Terrorist Brigade fulfilled all demands and instructions set by SOFR and IPTF, as was confirmed during the control", Saric said.

CLEVELAND - An order to SFOR troops to treat special police forces in RS and the Federation of B-H as military formations is a new change to their mandate, writes the L.A. Times, specifying that this change is directed first of all against Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic's guard. Making its mandate in B-H tougher, NATO issued an order also to "paramilitary police forces to place themselves under control of the international forces within a week, otherwise they will be disarmed and arrested", writes the paper.

BIJELJINA - RS senator and member of the Serb Academy of Science and Art, Veselin Djuretic, assessed, in his comment on the political stir in the RS, that the most important thing at the moment is that RS become strong as a state, and then "time for cleansing of the house would come." He warned that the present constitutional crisis and the leader-style behaviour by some individuals represent a gambling which may endanger RS foundations, especially because of a large number of those who disfavour this Serbian state.
