| Removed PRC member Karapetrovic statement
| RS Radio – Ranko Karapetrovic, the removed member of the PRC, gave a statement to RTRS,saying that: “After other members of the PRC informed me of the meeting, I contacted Commission and was told that I will not get any invitation to the PRC session, since my mandate was linked with mayors’ mandate. Bearing in mind my mandate expired, my membership in the Commission has consequently terminated, although I have previously obtained written assent from the RS Association of Municipalities to continue assuming this duty. However, nobody has contacted the RS Association of Municipalities regarding nomination of new candidate, neither was the new Mayor of Laktasi municipality invited to attend the PRC session. This is somewhat strange.” |

| HR calls on PRC to eradicate politics from police reform
| Herceg Bosna Radio, BHT, FTV, RTRS, Dnevni Avaz cover page, pg 3 ‘To create a single police structure in BiH’, Oslobodjenje pg 2, mentioned on cover ‘To eradicate politics from police reforms’, Dnevni List, pg 2, mentioned on front ‘Destiny of Police to be made known on Wednesday’, by Erna Mackic, Vecernji List, pg 2 ‘It is necessary to create single Police system’, by eme, Nezavisne Novine, cover ‘Paddy Ashdown stated BiH must have a single police structure’ and pg. 2 ‘Paddy Ashdown: BiH must have a single police’ by M. Cubro, EuroBlic, pg. RS3 ‘For a uniform without politics’ by Rajna Radosavljevic, Glas Srpske pg 3 ‘Police beyond the politics’ by N. Zelenovic – Speaking on Sunday at the start of the final Police Restructuring Commission (PRC) session – which is due to run until Wednesday this week – the High Representative, Paddy Ashdown, said “the PRC’s task is unambiguous; to create a single police system, free from political interference, capable of serving the citizen and taking on criminals from low-level car thieves to organized, international networks”. Commenting on public’s view of the quality of service that the Police structures in BiH provide the High Representative said: “More than half of those who had themselves been a victim of crime were unsatisfied with the police response. Over 80% in both the RS and the Federation believe that criminals get away with their crimes and 87% feel that politicians should do more to make the police more effective”. “They know what most of the professionals in this room know: That the fight between the police and the criminals is not a fair fight. That the deck is stacked in favour on lawbreakers, not law enforcers. That the system doesn’t work,” he added. Police reform is one of the 16 pre-requirements for BiH’s accession to the EU. The High Representative reminded members of the PRC that the European Commission clearly stated its requirement as “a single structure of policing with competency vested at the state level operating in functional areas based on technical policing criteria”. Expecting this to change, when the European Commission’s functional review found BiH’s police forces to be “divided, over staffed, under-resourced, and unable to operate across the IEBL” is unrealistic and undermines the EU integration process. The High Representative underlined that the fractured system of BiH’s crime fighting structures are juxtaposed with the unity of BiH’s “criminal space” and expressed his disappointment with the politicisation of the PRC debate process which is aimed at effectively providing one of the most basic public services – public security. “Moreover, without this kind of reform and a truly effective policing system it is impossible to expect a liberalisation of visa regimes for BiH citizens,” said the High Representative. |

Stressing that he absolutely supports the work of the Police Restructuring Commission in BiH, Terzic told the press that he would not prejudice any final solutions, but noted that the Council of Ministers would debate and support the proposals prepared by the Commission. When asked whether the Entity police structures should be abolished, and whether one police structure should be established at the state-level instead, Terzic said that it is necessary to establish a certain state-level managing mechanism in the security system. “It has been proven so far that a system with the current number of police officers has simply not ensured security to anybody. It is impossible to take responsibility for the security situation, which is expected from us in |

The author is supportive of the establishment of police structure, which would be able to protect the citizens, exchange information without any restrictions, etc. |
| VL op-ed on growing crime, Police structure in BiH
| Vecernji List, pg 2 ‘Kidnappers among us’, by Dejan Jazvic Commenting on the recent case of boy kidnap in Sarajevo and the problem of growing criminal in BiH, the author says that the problems are related to the mild criminal law in BiH and the fact that the Police forces in BiH do not have a single organization. “To put it simply, each criminal knows that he or she will be usually free as soon as he/she crosses the entity border, and even in case he/she gets arrested, there is no reason to be afraid because the current legislation in BiH envisions symbolic punishments for serious crimes”, says the author. |

Building conscience is a process and it is impossible to change it with a decision, decree or constitution”, says Brkic. |
| PDHR Hays to meet
| Herceg Bosna Radio, Dnevni Avaz pg 2 ‘A quiet revolution can bring benefits to citizens’, Oslobodjenje pg 6 ‘A quite revolution possible’, Nezavisne Novine, pg. 4 ‘Hays in Mostar today’ by Onasa, FENA – The Principal Deputy High Representative, Donald Hays, will visit Mostar on Monday, where he will participate at a forum of mayors from the region, OHR said in a press release issued on Sunday. Ambassador Hays will urge local authorities to seize the historic opportunity that has been created by the direct election of mayors. He will point out that a “quiet revolution” that can bring real benefits to citizens throughout the country is possible if the mayors use their popular mandate to generate real change in the municipalities. To do this, they must adopt best practices that have already been proven in successful municipalities, listening to constituents, understanding what they have to do to make their municipalities compete for investment, working together in groups of municipalities to achieve economies of scale. The forum will, among other things, consider the need for adoption of the Law on Local Self-Government (LSG) in the Federation BiH and problems regarding implementation of the adopted Law on LSG in Republika Srpska. It will also examine the need for the streamlining of revenue allocation – among Entity, canton and municipality – so that the bulk of spending goes towards services for citizens rather than towards maintaining an unwieldy and inefficient bureaucracy, according to the OHR press release. |

Vele –Mostar Mayor and the Chair of SDA Mostar in resignation, Hamdija Jahic, stated for DA that “certain forces want to use an opportunity and to put the seed of rift inside SDA through Mostar and Herzegovina.
