NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BONN - President of the Government of Republika Srpska (RS) Milorad Dodik
stated in Bonn that three most important priorities of his Cabinet were
creating a truly unique RS, implementation of the Dayton Agreement and
economic reconstruction of the country - conveys DPA. Speaking about
cooperation between RS and the International Tribunal in Hague and
answering back the statement of German Foreign Affairs Minister Claus
Kinkel that all the suspect of war crimes must be extradited to Hague,
Dodik said at the press-conference: " RS wants to obey, but required
political stability is still missing to do so".
BONN - The president of RS Government Milorad Dodik emphasised in Bonn that
the new government would do everything in its power to return refugees in
RS and warned that "overcoming of the social and economic problems
represents prerequisite" for their settling. After he had had talks with
the German Foreign Affairs Minister Claus Kinkel Dodik underlined, along
with the invitation to Croats and Muslem to get back to RS, that " they
would have to share the same destiny of those remaining in the RS", where
according to him there are 70% of unemployed and average salary amounts
around 70 DM a month.
ATHENS - With this Conference on Return of Refugees yesterday in Sarajevo
the international community has confirmed once more a complete failure of
the Dayton Agreement - concludes the Greek daily "Elefterotipija".
Assessing that " in two post- war years on the plan of return of refugees
to B&H nothing has been done, i.e. less than 9% of them has returned to
their homes". The paper expresses hope that situation in this field can be
improved by "opening of Sarajevo and other cities", on which is insisting
the international community. " There is no doubt that the international
community has finally realised that obstacle for return of refugees are not
Serbs but Muslim itself who are striving to create an ethnic Islamic state,
holding strongly closed doors of cities in B&H - first of all Sarajevo" -
concludes "Eleftorotipia".
BANJALUKA - The vice-president of the intellectual Forum Branko Dokic
assessed that " almost all requirements which were required by the
International Arbitrage Commission (AC) and Supervisor for the region of
Brcko Robert Farand are satisfied, so the AC should reach an decision on
March 15 to keep this city within RS". At the press-conference in Banjaluka
Dokic reminded that in Brcko multiethnic power has been established ,
restored around 1.000 houses and cleared a path for right to move freely,
emphasising that the Premier of RS Milorad Dodik said in his expose that
Brcko must stay within RS what was also supported by the FB&H
representatives.
BELGRADE - Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) thinks that the international
community made a mistake for not securing an exterritorial status for
Sarajevo, " which might have influence on staying and security of nonmuslim
people in that town". "The yesterday's conference in Sarajevo on return of
refugees, held on the initiative of the USA Government, will be remembered
by striving of the organisers to cover up a real number of Serbs who had
left Sarajevo, circumstances that led to their mass exile and facts about a
repression against remained Serbs" - reported DSS.
MOSCOW - The Russian president Boris Jelcin warned the American president
Bill Clinton in Moscow that he was acting too harsh and " he is not
himself", warning him that the armed forces attack against Iraq could lead
to a new world war. " That is not the way to deal with the arms accumulated
in that region , everybody should be more careful without threats" - said
Jeljcin. He reminded that Russia and some other countries in the Security
Council would vote against the attack over Iraq if it was to be discussed.
