In the exercise of the powers vested in me by Article V of Annex 10 (Agreement on Civilian Implementation of the Peace Settlement) to the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to which the High Representative is the final authority in theatre regarding interpretation of the said Agreement on the civilian implementation of the peace settlement; and considering in particular Article II.1 (d) of the last said Agreement, according to the terms of which the High Representative shall “facilitate, as the High Representative judges necessary, the resolution of any difficulties arising in connection with civilian implementation”;
Recalling my Decision of 27 April 2000, in which I imposed a ban on, inter alia, the disposal, allocation, transfer or sale of state-owned real property (Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina 13/00, Official Gazette of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina no. 17/00 and Official Gazette of the Republika Sprska no. 12/00);
Noting that the conditions in which authorities of the Entities or the State are able to dispose or otherwise allocate state-owned real property in a manner that is non-discriminatory and in the best interest of the public do not now exist throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Having considered, borne in mind and noted all the matters aforesaid, I hereby issue the following:
DECISION
My Decision of 27 April 2000 is extended and shall remain in force until 30 March 2001.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Official Gazette the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Official Gazette of the Republika Srpska forthwith.
