| Terzic: It will be difficult following VAT introduction, but there will be no chaos
| BHT 1 by Gvozden Sarac – BiH Council of Ministers Chair Adnan Terzic reiterated on Tuesday that the situation following the Valued Added Tax introduction on 1 January will be difficult, but there will be no chaos in BiH. In short-term, the increase of prices will have negative effect on the standard of BiH citizens, but in the long-term VAT – the most radical but most important tax reform in BiH – will be good for the country, Terzic repeated. “Chaos is being announced, collapses and huge increases of prices are being announced… but we want to emphasize once again that that will not happen”, stated CoM Chair. The VAT would create more favourable business environment for foreign investments, Terzic argues adding that, more importantly there will be a greater influx of money into budget which allows for more benefits for vulnerable citizens. According to some estimations, ‘grey economy’ makes up more than 35 percent of turnover in BiH or even up to 50% as believed by USAID; it is expected that VAT would help fight this market. State Border Service (SBS) plays an important role in this process by preventing smuggling across BiH borders. “SBS will do its job professionally on all international border crossings, i.e. all along the BiH borderline, because we cover entire 1,700 km-long BiH borderline”, stressed SBS director Vinko Dumancic. BiH Central Bank Governor Kemal Kozaric stressed that VAT would not create inflation, and there would be no additional printing of money. In fact, the coins of 5 pfennings and 5 KM have been already prepared, in order to prevent merchants from make some extra profit by rounding off the prices. CoM Chair Terzic added that publishing would be exempted from VAT, mainly because there are no social mechanisms or funds for alleviating the consequences of VAT in this sector. RTRS – ITA Director Kemal Causevic explained that one of effects of VAT will be increase of collection in amount of about Km500 million. Hayat, FTV, PINK, |
| Authorities: Businessmen will not be allowed to gain extra profit
| FTVby Azra Pasukan-Buljina – BiH authorities stresses that the VAT introduction also includes measures to prevent manipulations and unjustified enormous increases in the prices. “All businessmen must know that they will not be allowed to gain some extra profit on bread, milk or cooking oil”, stated Ibrahim Tirak from the FBiH Price Monitoring Team. Companies who violate the regulations on margins would be fined up to 1,000 KM or completely closed, announced Tirak. The negotiations with three Elektroprivredas should start in the next few days; if they agree not to increase the price of electric energy during the winter, prices of other communal services should remain the same as well. |

| Oslobodjenje op-ed on VAT: Much ado about VAT made large damage even before its introduction
| Oslobodjenje pg 9 ‘Getting used to more expensive life’ op-ed by Borivoje Simic – The author says that so much ado about VAT has made damage even before the tax has been introduced. With the public attention focused to large extent at the price increases, author says, increases became inevitable and there is a question of whether the price monitoring teams established by the entities will be efficient at the field. At the same time, the increases occur even before the VAT. Editorial argues that everyone should have more trust in the market and self-regulation, wait until the first tax reimbursements and only that to analyse whether the VAT bears more positive or negative effects, or whether there should be one or more rates. |

| RTRS by Nada Arlov– In the eve of the RSNA session, RTRS comments that the politicians are chasing 42 votes of majority and the most meetings are being held behind closed doors. Reporter comments that the today’s session should be a spectacle as the discussion on the RS Budget would determine whether the RS Government lead by Prime Minister Pero Bukejlovic would survive or not, while it is unknown whether the RS Finances Minister Svetlana Cenic would persuade RSNA that budget’s pointers are justified or they would be frighten by possibility of temporary financing, which in amount of Km404 million can’t be sufficient.

Poljasevic said this is the reason why PDP cannot support the proposal budget sponsored by the RS Government. If the budget is not adopted, he said, it will be necessary to launch a vote of no confidence to the Government, reiterating that PDP supported the SNSD initiative. “Thus, it is up to SNSD to make the move”, he said, adding it is logical for SNSD to launch their initiative, noting that he has learned SNSD has already ensured the support of “45 representatives for the initiative”. |

Bukejlovic said that the issue of majority in the RS NA did not present the main one, namely, he pointed out that the most important thing was to adopt the budget for 2006, since it offered solutions to some issues which have been managed to be solved for years, such as education, pension, culture, etc. Bukejlovic emphasized that the budget had to be adopted in order to prevent further destabilization of the RS and that he had nothing against dismissal of the Government after the budget is adopted. Bukejlovic said that if the budget does not be adopted, temporary financing decision would become effective. On being asked why he supported the proposal on having salaries to the RS NA representatives increased, Bukejlovic said that the request was justified and that the increase referred to activities which were to follow in 2006, and added that he did not see it as a way of buying votes of the representatives in order to make them adopt the budget for 2006. |

If Lozancic does not sent his consent urgently then our party would behave as the opposition in the FBiH Parliament until this issue is resolved.

| NTV Hayat on SBS: every fifth officer has criminal file
| NTV Hayat– Hayat reports that every fifth State Border Service (SBS) officer has a criminal file. Since the SBS was formed until June this year, 572 SBS officers were under disciplinary procedure for violations in their work conduct, whereas 419 of them were subject to the disciplinary measures. During five years of SBS existence, 52 officers have been dismissed and criminal reports filed against them. Report on these cases was presented to BiH House of Peoples (HoP), which concluded that the reason for such situation is that SBS officers were hired from different level of police structures in BiH. Representatives in the BiH HoP consider this information as catastrophic and believe that disciplinary measures against those officers didn’t show results, since the trend of violations continued through years. “Officer in the State service who has a small salary and work at such sensitive working place is usually corrupted. That is a bitter truth,” stated representative in BiH HoP, Halid Genjac. SBS Director, Vinko Dumancic says that revision of all employees is conducted. “I still cannot give any information for public, report was sent to BiH Minister of Security,” says Dumancic. BiH HoP requested explanation for this situation in next SBS report and precise information on characteristics of violations. |
