“Ništa u ovoj zemlji nije vjerovatno, ali sve stvari koje se tiču odbrambene reforme su ispunjene. Međutim, ukoliko ne dođe do korjenite reforme Republike Srpske kad je u pitanju ispunjavanje [...]

I think if I were to sum it up I would do so like this: A number of very important reforms were made last year, some of which required a great deal of courage from Republika Srpska. Making these decisions last year, on Defence, on the ITA, the [...]

“Following the events that took place in Pale, I will have to take action against the RS authorities, because I have been thinking, for some time now, what steps to take, so that the whole of BiH does not have to suffer and risk its chance to join the Partnership for Peace,” announced the High Representative, Paddy Ashdown.

Although local estimates of the depth of BiH’s economic decline are represented in small figures, Donald Hays, Principle Deputy High Representative, announced after the most recent meeting he had with the representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce that the internal debt of BiH amounts to KM 20 billion.

Izuzetno sam zabrinut, jer ukoliko ne ubrzamo sadašnji tempo reformi, bojim se da nećemo uspjeti * Optimističan sam kada je u pitanju daljnja provedba odluke o uređenju grada Mostara * Spor oko struje za «Aluminij» je pokušaj manipulacije u političke svrhe

“I know it’s difficult when a foreigner judges public opinion in a country he or she comes to, but what citizens think about an issue is important to me. My legitimacy is based on the Dayton Agreement but my powers are based, among other things, on the acceptance by citizens of the job I’m doing.
