Sarajevo, 30 March 2001

The High Representative, Wolfgang Petritsch, today congratulated Mr Beriz Belkic, of the Party for BiH (SBiH), and Mr Jozo Krizanovic, of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), on their appointment as members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were nominated by the BiH House of Representatives earlier this week and were confirmed today by a unanimous vote in the Bosniak and Croat Caucus of the BiH House of Peoples.

The High Representative is looking to see the BiH Presidency actively promote much needed reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This means specifically: market reforms, the return of refugees and displaced people to their homes and the strengthening of state institutions to serve all citizens of BiH.
