| Mrakovica meeting discusses establishment of BiH single economic space | Oslobodjenje cover, pgs 4&5 ‘Incomes from excises in the state stocks’ – BiH Prime Minister Adnan Terzic said Monday in Mrakovic that a package of urgent measures, aimed at creating a single market in BiH, would be implemented in the next couple of months, regardless of limiting constitutional competencies. RS and FBiH Prime Ministers Dragan Mikerevic and Ahmet Hadzipasic signed an agreement ensuring excise taxes on domestic products to be paid at the place of original producer. Terzic said that this system would primarily help businesses in BiH avoid the existing practice of double taxation. The agreement also calls on the ITA to come up within 60 days with a proposal of necessary legal changes that will ensure that excise taxes on imported and domestic good are paid to a singe account of the Indirect Taxation Administration. RS PM Dragan Mikerevic said that the meeting was focused on resolving the problem of domestic oil production: “The agreement is significant for the Oil Refinery in Bosanski Brod because it opens the possibility for its products to be used in the entire country. This removes administrative barriers from the Refinery to sell its products and at the same time allows all other producers of excise goods to have a single economic space.” The ITA Steering Board has been tasked to prepare within the next 90 days legislation that would finally regulate the sector of high excise goods in the entire country, which should lead towards the establishment of a single economic market in BiH. Nezavisne Novine cover and pg 2 ‘Abolishment of double taxes’; All participants of yesterday’s meeting at Mrakovica share the view that BiH will meet all pre-requisites necessary for launchment of talks on SAA.

On specific changes regarding the income of excises and other, Terzic says that they will not be against entities’ constitutions and will not mean taking obligations from them: “The thing three of us have been trying since we taken over our functions is to be able to [agree on] measures through one coordination [effort] and an agreement, ensuring progress for every level of the government, based on its constitutional authorities, in the way that these competencies wouldn’t have to be transferred to the state level.”. |

| Ashdown visits Mostar: unification still far from completed
| Oslobodjenje cover, pg 3 ‘Mostar must be united by the municipal elections’ – The High Representative Paddy Ashdown has stated that it will take some time before his decision on the administrative structure of Mostar is entirely functional. Three month after imposing the decision on the Mostar unification, High Rep commended Mostar mayor and his deputy, Hamdija Jahic and Ljubo Beslic respectively, “who brought courageous and difficult decisions. At this stage of the Mostar unification process, [things] are going better than I expected.” Attending the ceremony of official unification of fire brigades from Mostar, Ashdown repeatedly stressed that the process of unification is a difficult one, and that it is only about to face some problems which will be hard to solve such as the single city budget. “I don’t want to underestimate the difficulty of the issues which will be before us,” said Ashdown.

According to Tunovic, OHR is not competent for the issue, adding that the City administration of Mostar should be completing the systematisation of jobs in the unified City administration. DL learns from an anonymous source that a working group should complete an organizational scheme and systematisation of the City administration by June 30, which should be adopted by the City Council in July. According to the source, only then we will know how many people the future City administration will hire. DL concludes that the people who remain jobless should be receiving severance pays. |

Serb candidates – Milan Milojcic, Dragos Milankovic, Mirko Tepsic, Dragan Stupar and Stamenko Novakovic – were all approved.

Tihic believes that the SFOR commander’s decision is based on incomplete assessments, which are not grounded on relevant evidence such as ICTY indictments. Stressing that the SFOR commander is duty-bound to reveal “the evidence”, Tihic believes that “the request to dismiss a number of brigadiers without giving them the right to retire on the account of their alleged involvement in war crimes is contrary to the system in BiH and the international human rights conventions”. The statement stresses that the decision by the SFOR commander is a consequence of a lengthy campaign aimed at treating criminals and victims, i.e. those who defended BiH and the unarmed Bosniak people and those who tried to destroy it, as if there is no difference between them. Dnevni Avaz cover splash, pg 2 ‘SFOR’s decision is humiliating’, Nezavisne Novine cover and pg 3 ‘Three Bosniaks and five Serbs passed vetting process’, Glas Srpske pg 2 ‘Evidence on table’ – Tihic said that the decision of Commander SFOR to fail 6 Bosniak candidates for candidates was scandalous and that it represents the gravest breach of the human rights.

He added that the authorities in BiH as well as Governments of many Western countries had recognised the fact that there were a small percentage of militants in BiH who continued to go through radicalisation process and were becoming politically active. “Those are volunteers prepared for groups such as Al Q’Aida, which is now ready to expand its personnel, turn to those who are not Arabians, and recruit those who do not look like Arabians”, Berman added. According to him, all indicators suggested that Al Q’Aida was present in BiH. |
