The chief of the Visegrad's Office of OSCE Mark Polok stated that the end deadline for correction of these irregularities is August 21 this year.

AMSTERDAM - Yesterday finished journey to the former Yugoslavia of the previous U.S. mediator for Balkans and one of the creators of the Dayton Agreement Richard Holbrooke, besides the series of extorted promises has no significant results - deems the Dutch observers. Holbrooke's visit was well prepared, and part of it is giving "the green light" to the Western media for publishing, for Western diplomacy long time known facts about embezzlement of the humanitarian aid and corruption on the highest level on the Moslem side. The implementation of Dayton Agreement depends on the verbal promises and the will of three parties, under the pressure of silent diplomacy do few steps forward while waiting the favourable moment when they will come back again at the beginning.

PARIS - Commenting /un/success of the repeated "peace mission" of the creator of Dayton Agreement Richard Holbrooke, French news cite his words that he didn't expect the "spectacular results" out of the tour. All comments are reduced on the conclusion that "the former Yugoslavia is the half-success for Holbrooke". Before the beginning of his mission "Liberation" was writing the name of RS under the quote signs, and today it doesn't do it.

HAMBURG - The mutual Croatian-Moslem expelling from the cities of B&H will surprise only those who forget that it became every day custom and that the Dayton Agreement regarding the issue of refugees is tailored out of any reality - asserts "Junge Welt". As thinks the commentator of this news Hans Werner, the new strike in face to those who claims that allegedly Serbs conduct the obstruction of the Dayton Agreement represent the news about expelling Moslem refugees from Croatian Jajce and burning their houses. In the text is warned that one anti- Serbian oriented Moslem-Croatian Federation could represent the foundation of the unitary Bosnian state with RS as constituent part.

PARIS - The defenders of Islam in Bosnia by no word had got up against the atrocious crimes of the religious fanatics in Algeria, who from June 5 killed 800 civilians, mainly old people, women and children - writes "Liberation". One of the leaders of the Algerian Islamists Abu el Mundir stated to the secret bulletin "El Djama" that "enemies of Islam must be slaughtered from the youngest child to the oldest man". The creators of the humanitarian law do not sound about events which overwhelmed in atrocities all that was done since the Second World War when Germany was defeated.
