NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

SARAJEVO - The president of the RS National Assmelby, Dragan Kalinic, sent Christmas message to Serb people: "As we have had enough strength to fight all temptations and remain persistent in our Orthodox faith, so in the coming period of time - which will be no easier for us and not without less temptation for our people - we will persevere and defend RS".

BEOGRAD - Over 50,000 citizens of Belgrade, protesting against the annulment of the second round of local elections in Serbia, assembled at the Republic' Square to celebrate Christmas Eve.

SARAJEVO - The most influential paper in the Federation of B-H "Ljiljan", assesses that Muslim return to the villages of Jusici and Dugi Do does not represent only weakening of "Serb Fascism", but a clear Muslim political concept. "Jusici yesterday, Brcko tomorrow, then Doboj, Prijedor...It is our main route", says "Ljiljan" in its editorial. The paper is considered to be an informal herald of the Party of Democratic Action. The Muslim Army Fifth (Bihac) Corps commander, Atif Dudakovic, supported all these claims said that "Republika Srpska is only an occupied area".

SARAJEVO - Europe is old, nationalistic and calculating, in contrast to America which policy is more favourable for us, stated Alija Izetbegovic, chair of the tripartite Presidency of B-H, for the latest issue of Muslim paper "Ajvaz". He pointed out that "history of Europe is the history of creation of national states, while the USA is multinational and its policy serves the Muslims and 'whole Bosnia'".

SARAJEVO - According to information of the Muslim-Bosnian Organisation (MBO), the setting of houses on fire in Dubrave and in the areas of Capljina and Stlac was ordered by some foreign intelligence services, as well by the former HOS (Croatian defence Forces), which controlled the former JNA, reports Muslim Radio-Sarajevo.
