NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

SARAJEVO - The deputy B&H Foreign Affairs Minister Dragan Bozanic assessed for SRNA that "foreign political platform of B&H is a cleaned out text in which directions of foreign politics, as well instructions for work of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, are very summarised". He reminded that the Platform has been adopted by the B&H Presidency, which also determines foreign policy, and the Foreign Affairs Ministry was executive organ. "It is going to be the basic directive for the work of the new Ambassadors of B&H in the world and that is one of prerequisites for them to take on the duty" - Bozanic explained.

SREBRENICA - Not even at the forth inter-party agreement a solution for division of key official seats between Serbian parties - Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) and Serbian Radical Party (SRS) - and Coalition for Whole and Democratic B&H have been found because of a demand of the Coalition to have all key seats . In a statement for SRNA the deputy chief of OSCE mission for B&H Richard Elerkman assessed today's agreement, which he presided himself, as "more opened and concrete" that previous ones, expressing conviction that "a solution is almost there".

VISEGRAD - The Minister for Refugees and Displaced Persons of Republika Srpska (RS) Miladin Dragicevic stated during a visit to collective shelters in Visegrad that the RS Government would improve conditions of living in the first phase, and in the second phase work on the dismissal of the shelters. According to him, the RS Government would ask for help from the international organisations in order to complete this task. Dragicevic emphasised that living conditions in these centres, as well as in the other 60 private centres in RS in which 6,939 persons live, are very difficult.

MOSTAR - In last ten days in the region of Drvar 12 burnings of houses and economic buildings owned by Serbian refugees, and intimidation of two Serbs during their visit to abandoned homes have been recorded - the IPTF spokesman Alun Roberts stated at a press-conference in Vitez. According to him, the members of Croatian Council of Defence (HVO) settled in houses of exiled Serbs in this region, and not in barracks, are significantly endangering security and along with that the possibility of return of the Serbs.

BRUSSELS - NATO Council will have a meeting tomorrow in Brussels with countries which participate in SFOR, but are not members of NATO, among them Russia too. A decision on forming a new peace keeping troops in B&H, which would replace previous forces after their mandate has expired in June, should be made at the meeting. The new peace keeping troops will be the same size as the previous ones until the general elections in September, and after that, depending on the situation in the field, the number would be reduced to 20,000 - 25,000.

MOSTAR - In SFOR base in Mostar a big military training, in which 1,000 soldiers and six national contingents of peace mission in B&H took part, has been completed - Croatian radio Herzeg-Bosna reports.
