Statement by the High Representative, Carl Bildt

Sarajevo, 25 June 1996

For the second week in a row, Republika Srpska Prime Minister Gojko Klickovic failed to turn up at the meeting of the Joint Interim Commission this afternoon. This was in spite of explicit undertakings to come and in spite of the time and place of the meeting being agreed.

This refusal to attend agreed meetings is against the undertakings in the Peace Agreement to work together within the framework of the Joint Interim Commission, and calls into question the sincerity of Republika Srpska statements that they intend to cooperate fully with the implementation of the Peace Agreement.
