  • [01] YUGOSLAVIA DEMANDS URGENT APPOINTMENT OF KARADZIC'S SUCCESSOR

    Belgrade, June 25 (Tanjug) - The leadership of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has demanded from the Parliament of the Republika Srpska to immediately appoint an acting president with full powers.

    If the Bosnian Serb Parliament remains deaf to demands for the full implementation of the Dayton peace agreement, Yugoslavia will take all measures both towards institutions and towards individuals who are threatening the interests of the citizens of Republika Srpska and Yugoslavia, said a statement from the Yugoslav President's Cabinet.

    At the initiative of the Yugoslav leadership, the Presidents of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro - Zoran Lilic, Slobodan Milosevic and Momir Bulatovic respectively, met on Monday with the Bosnian Serb representatives, Biljana Plavsic and Nikola Koljevic, to discuss the implementation of the Dayton agreement in keeping with Yugoslavia's role as the guarrantor that Republika Srpska would carry out all the provisions of the peace agreement.

    A statement issued after the talks said that the military aspect of the Dayton agreement is being fully implemented but that there exist significant difficulties in the realization of its civilian component.

    Condemned was Republika Srpska's refusal to take part in the International Conference of Donors, held in Brussels in April, the ousting of Republika Srpska Prime Minister Rajko Kasagic in May, hesitations to halt all activities to limit the freedom of movement, the selfwill of the Bosnian Serb authorities towards the citizens and violence against political parties which oppose the policy of the ruling Serbian Democratic Party.

    Such activities which directly prevent the implementation of the Dayton agreement threaten the vital interests of the entire Serb nation, Republika Srpska and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which is the guarrantor of the implementation of the agreement, the statement said.

    The statement said that there is no other explanation other than personal interests for the obstruction of the implementation of the Dayton agreement since this document is in the interest of all citizens of Republika Srpska and the entire Serb nation.

    During the talks the Yugoslav leaders found out that the Republika Srpska leadership had concealed from its associates and the Bosnian Serb Parliament and Government that the High Representative of the international community, Carl Bildt, had on June 12 warned them that if they continued to ignore the agreement, sanctions would once again be imposed on Republika Srpska in keeping with UN Security Council resolution 1022. This would threaten the vital interests of Republika Srpska and all its citizens, and indirectly of Yugoslavia, the statement said.

    The statement said that the disregarding of the Dayton agreement and the failure to fulfill earlier commitments, as well as obligations agreed with Bildt, represent a direct attack on Republika Srpska, the entire peace process and the entire safety structure built in the region in accordance with the peace document.

    This is why it has been demanded from the Republika Srpska representatives, the statement said, to warn their Parliament about all the elements of this decisive stage in the realization of the peace agreement, especially the preparations for holding the elections in Republika Srpska, in order to prevent the further threats to the interests of its citizens in the implementation of the Dayton agreement. This is why the Parliament should immediately adopt decisions whih would secure the realization of all undertaken committments.

    The statement said that the Yugoslav leadership underscored that the realization of all aspects of the Dayton agreement fully protects the interests of the Serb people and the citizens of Republika Srpska and that the ignoring of the documents leads towards the disintegration of Republika Srpska and the destabilization of the entire region.

    The statement said that the Republika Srpska delegation had at the peace talks in Dayton demanded in writing from the Yugoslav delegation to guarrantee that they would honour the agreement, which would not have existed without such guarrantees from Yugoslavia.

    Kontic said that the visit from Poland at top political level is a turning point in the development of relations between the two countries.

    Kontic and Siwiec said that there exist huge possibilities for stepping up cooperation in all spheres, which should be preceeded by the strengthening of top level political dialogue.
