DOBOJ - The president of the PosavinaDoboj District Board of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) Mirjana Sajinovic assessed that western press writing on alleged 'regionalisations' in RS as being vane desires of Serb enemies. "Banjaluka is the heart of RS without which it would not exist, so there is no geographer to allot it to Tudjman, for such attempt would be challenged by a fierce Serb resistance. There is no mention of any separation of any part of RS, and this is the SRS position", stressed Mirjana Sajnovic in her statement for SRNA.

ZURICH - The elections in RS and the MuslimCroat Federation could not be the ideal ones, but their holding and monitoring must be maximally correct which is one of the major OSCE tasks, writes "Tages Zeitung" in today's edition.

THE HAGUE - One of the main witnesses to the indictment against Dusan Tadic, James Gou, experienced, in cross examination, a total fiasco. Following four days of statements, this professor and the main advisor of the British Government, using maps, TV tapes and his own elaborates, did not succeed to prove anything. To all concrete questions of Dusan Tadic's layer Alfonso Ori, Gou answered: "I do not know", "I am not certain" or "There is no evidence".

THESALONIKI - The Greek paper "Elpheterophia" in an article titled "Bosnian Jihhad" writes that the "Jihhad", the new Muslim terrorist organisation threatens the multinational peace forces in the Former B-H, especially US troops. In an interview for the paper, the "Jihhad" leader, an Egyptian by origin, married with a Bosnian Muslim, confirmed he trains a group of Muslim volunteers for special terrorist actions, using a chance to sent a threat to NATO forces in the former B-H.

RIJEKA - The mistreatment of the Muslims, especially members of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) in Croatia appeared to be a daily fashion, reports Muslim RadioSarajevo. A proof to this is a recent incident in Rijeka, when the Croat police "without any explanation arrested Ibrahim Rucic and Mustafa Kukuruzovic, SDA members, and subjected them to manyhour examination".

SARAJEVO - The Association of the Muslims from Ljubuski criticised the Federal authorities for not doing anything to guarantee the Muslims in this municipality all human rights. In talks with Reis ul Ulema, Mustafa efendija Ceric, members of the Association pointed out at a series of other "violations of rights of the Muslims" in the Croatcontrolled cities within the Federation.

BEOGRAD - Thee president of the Democratic Party (DS) Zoran Djindjic, assessed for the latest edition of the weekly "Javnost" that " the former B-H objectively cannot survive as an unitary state, for it lacks integration forces. Following the breakup of the former Yugoslavia in 1990 new states were created. In such a process of reintegration, B-H could not remain untouched", stated Djindjic, and said that the West, which created its national states long time did not have enough sense for the right of the Serbian people on selfdetermination.
