31.10.1996 OHR Sarajevo

Press Release

The Office of the High Representative sharply refutes the ludicrous allegations made to the press this week that journalists from the Federation were denied access by the OHR to the Presidency session at the National Museum on 29 October. Arrangements for this meeting were the responsibility of the Presidency itself. OHR only took any role in these meetings at the specific request of the parties because of its good relations with television and newspaper journalists in all parts of Bosnia, as with the international media. The choice of the media representatives to be admitted was made by the parties themselves.
