NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BRUSSELS - The High International Representative Carlos Westendorp
supported in the EU headquarters in Brussels as soon as possible financial
help to the new Government of Republika Srpska (RS), citing that "the Prime
Minister Milorad Dodik does not need projects for reconstruction, but money
so people could eat" - reports a correspondent of SRNA. He said that EU,
USA, Japan, the World's Bank and other donors were ready to immediately
send help if the new RS Government guaranteed that it would support
democratic development and "legally use of the funds", reminding that
several millions of ecus has already been intended for RS, but they were
frozen because , as he claims, former relevant authorities "refused to
cooperate".
HAMBURG - The commentator of a liberal paper "Neus Deutchland" Rene Heilig
denies possibility that "under the new RS Government's leadership there
could be any essential changes". "The Prime Minister is maybe now a real
man of the hour, however, if his power would last long depends exclusively
on his NATO protectors - remarks the paper. "Dodik is one of rare Serbs for
whom cooperation with the Muslim is not a taboo"- claims "Frankfurter
Rundshau".
AMSTERDAM - RS has a government made of representatives of opposition
parties, while the two majority parties are pushed into the background,
which is not the case with B&H Federation (FB&H) and cantons - writes a
Dutch paper "Folkskrant" and emphasises that Dodik is the first Prime
Minister in B&H who has nothing to do with the leading party. In the
commentary is said that "on Muslim and Croats influence of the national
parties is still decisive, while the Serbs, partially thanks to votes of
the Muslim, have a new premier from the opposition".
