NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

BANJA LUKA - The Serbian Democratic Party /SDS/ thinks that there did not exist any rational reason for Arbitrage Tribunal not to pass the decision about disputed part of inter-entity demarcation line in the region of Brcko and that avoiding of passing final decision which would confirm the current status is obviously violating of Dayton Agreement. Stating this for SRNA the presiding of the Presidency of SDS Aleksa Buha stressed that the conditions which the arbitrator Owen has set out in the last year's decision are being fulfilled in the dynamics which allow the general circumstances, but incomparably faster than return of refugees, freedom of movement and establishing multi-ethnical administration in Stolac, Mostar, Bugojno or Drvar.

SARAJEVO - The High Representative for B&H Carlos Westendorp said, while announcing the decision of Arbitrage Tribunal about the status of Brcko, that it followed the long lasting analysis of international legal experts, who were weighing a series of variants about the issue to whom Brcko will belong - Republika Srpska or Federation B&H /FB&H/. At the press conference Mr. Westendorp, not giving details, presented the text of the decision of international arbiter for Brcko Roberts Owen.

SARAJEVO - The postponement of the final decision for Brcko is the worst solution - thinks Mirza Hajric, the counsellor of the presiding of Presidency of B&H Alija Izetbegovic.
