We have welcomed the decision on the part of the president Cavic to disband this “wiretapping and surveillance unit”. We believe that it is of extreme importance for SFOR to get involved in that process. This raises a whole series of additional issues. If Cavic did not know anything about it, then the question is: why didn’t he know? Why didn’t Mr. [...]

25 individuals from BiH will soon be on the “persona non grata” list of the European Union. This is our part of hundred individuals for whom we have evidence that they participated in organised crime and have been helping individuals indicted for war crimes to hide – the High Representative, Paddy Ashdown, said at the start of his interview with “D [...]

DAVID FROST: We turn now, after years on the fringes of power as leader of the Liberal Democrats, to Paddy Ashdown, who now has the authority most elected politicians can only ever dream of, ... the prime minister and all laws passed by parliament, but as the International Community's High Representative in Bosnia it's a job few would envy.

Posljednjih tjedana mediju u BiH pokrenuli su pravu ofenzivu, a Ashdowna se optužuje za simpatiziranje SDA i sprečavanje Karadžićeva uhićenja, dok mu oni ozbiljniji predbacuju što će nakon izbora na kojima su [...]

I will say what I have already said before – not everyone must like Dayton but the reality of its existence must be respected. All I am trying to do within the domain of the Constitution is to create effective government. Theref [...]

The international community will not falsify the results of the elections because we do not control the election process, end even if we did, we would not do so.
BiH will implement these elections in whole and we do not play any role therein. It is clear to me that BiH is a place where it is possible to hear various conspiracy theories.

Visoki predstavnik u BiH, bivši čelnik britanskih liberala i mirovni posrednik Paddy Ashdown od svibnja je u Sarajevu i, čini se, nastoji dobro držati korak s brzinom reformi koje se trebaju u idućem razdoblju provesti u Bosni i Hercegovini.
