The Steering Board Ambassadors of the Peace
Implementation Council have called on the RS Authorities to resolve, as a matter
of urgency, the financial crisis inTrebinje
Municipality precipitated by the war
damage claim brought against the municipality. At the same time the Steering
Board Ambassadors strongly endorse efforts to enact appropriate legislation in
the RSNA that will help to ensure that any future claims for compensation
arising from wartime events can be resolved fairly but without jeopardizing the
safety, security or wellbeing of citizens.
The Steering Board Ambassadors note that while the right to compensation
under the law must be protected, it cannot override the right of citizens to
adequate public services. It is the duty of the authorities to take rapid and
realistic action to ensure that these twin requirements of a modern democratic
society are met.
