Under this criterium, there are three categories of companies - economic enterprises, socially-owned companies, and public companies. [03] YUGOSLAV ASSEMBLY'S LOWER HOUSE ADOPTS BILL ON TRANSFORMATION OF OWNERSHIP[04] OF SOCIAL CAPITALBelgrade, June 19 (Tanjug) - The Chamber of Citizens of the federal Assembly Wednesday adopted a number of system-related laws, including one on transformation of ownership of social capital, on bases for work relations, and amendments to the law on foreign investments.The basic principles of the Law on Transformation of Ownership are that companies are obliged to establish the value and structure of their capital and can independently decide on entering into the process of ownership change. Ownership of social capital can be changed through sales of company shares in order to sell capital or increase it, through transformation of shares into funds, by turning investments and outstanding debts into a lasting deposit, and by selling the company. The Law on Bases for Work Relations transforms work relations into a contract relationship between the employee and the employer. It secures greater flexibility of the employees, as required by the work process, and gives greater authorization to the directors. A novelty is that employees can resign, but also that they can be discharged by their employers.The adopted amendments of the Law on Foreign Investments creates conditions for major foreign investments, cuts down on the number of areas where foreigners cannot have a majority share, and there is a new chapter on concessions to foreigners.

I N T E R V I E W S[08] STEINER DEPLORES PERSECUTIONS OF SARAJEVAN SERBSSarajevo, June 19 (Tanjug) - Deputy to the High Representative of the international community for Bosnia and Herzegovina Michael Steiner said Wednesday that he was ashamed of the persecution and terror over Sarajevan Serbs in the municipalities that are now controled by the Muslim-Croat Federation.In an interview to the Sarajevan daily Oslobodjenje, Steiner accused the Muslim Government it lacked the political will to put a stop to the terror and robbing of the remaining 8,000 Serbs who are preparing to leave the city. Organized or not, what is happening in Sarajevo is ethnic engineering, Steiner said and added I am ashamed because of what is happening in Sarajevo. Steiner said that in those municipalities Serb homes are being robbed every day, windows are broken at night and things taken out of houses. Serbs scared to death are leaving the city, Steiner warned... Steiner said he was ashamed personally, because he promised Serbs, doctors for example, that they would keep their jobs, and that they are being fired now. What is happening in the region is a shame for this city, he said, and wondered why Izetbegovic does not speak about that and where was now that pride of multiethnic Sarajevans. Steiner also said that in Ilijas, Vogosca and Ilidza even mines were being placed in front of Serb houses, while police patrols only report about robberies. I am disappointed, I am really disappointed that even after so many promises nothing has been done to prevent the robberies, Steiner said. He said that he talked with Izetbegovic and the Muslim Government in Sarajevo and that everybody was in agreement that nothing was as it should be, and that robberies and harassments had been going on for months. If there was a real political will then that would be prevented, Steiner said in conclusion.

FROM FOREIGN PRESS[10] CONCERN OVER LIFTING BAN ON ARMS DELIVERIESLondon, June 19 (Tanjug) - The formal lifting of the United Nations embargo on arms deliveries to the areas of former Yugoslavia as of Tuesday has caused fresh concern among the European countries which have their soldiers in the IFOR, British commentators said on Wednesday. A European NATO officer has told the London daily The Guardian that the situation is now equivocal because the international force soldiers have to control arms while some of the governments of these soldiers will at the same time sell new arms. This officer specified that, in keeping with the Dayton peace accords and last week's sub-regional accord on arms reductions reached in Florence, the arms potential of the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina would have to be reduced while the Muslims would be allowed to arm themselves further.The Guardian said that what is particularly interesting at this point is the double role of the US, the IFOR's leading country which at the same time plans to lead the arming of Muslims. Such a situation, the daily said, especially worries France and Britain. Yugoslav Daily Survey Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
