HR’s decision on single intelligence | |
| Electronic media reports
| BHTV1 at 19:00 hrs by Marina Boskovic – HR Paddy Ashdown announced a decision on the establishment of the Expert Commission for Intelligence Service Reform. The Commission’s task is to draft a proposal on unified intelligence service at the level of Bosnia-Herzegovina and regulations and laws in this field – in line with democratic principles and European standards – by August 1 this year. According to Ashdown, the new state level law must replace the current entity laws. “I expect the BiH Parliament to adapt the amendments promptly so BiH could have unified, operational and civilian intelligence service by 1 January 2004,” said Ashdown. The Commission will consist of seven members, six of whom will be appointed by Directors of the existing intelligence services. Chairman of the commission will be a senior advisor from the Hungarian intelligence agency and former Hungarian Ambassador to BiH, Kalman Kocsis. “This is the right moment for change because there are a lot of security threats that this country has to face,” said Kocsis.

A statement by the Commission Head Kocsis was broadcast. “The nature of this law will be protective. It is going to protect state from internal and external threats, citizens’ rights, politicians from service and service from politicians and baseless citizens’ complaints,” said Kocsis.

He further added that all institutions and competence, as in any normal state, should be given back to the state.

| SD on US – BiH agreement | Slobodna Dalmacija pg. 17 by Marin Erceg ‘Without America BiH would not be until 2009’ – “A promise coming from Europe about accession to the EU in 2009 is very tempting for BiH. But, without a resolute role and help from the US, which could be withheld if the Agreement is not ratified, it is questionable whether BiH would hold until then. Even now some officials of the same EU openly say that BiH does not have features of statehood and that without significant reforms BiH will never be ready to join the association of European democratic countries. More of a protectorate than a state, BiH simply, without a resolute threat of force, cannot survive. With unsolved fundamental political and national issues, with the biggest poverty in Europe, a decisive role of a foreign factor and dominating role of the US, the situation would soon get out of hands.” |
| SD on CRO – US agreement | Slobodna Dalmacija pg. 14 and 15 by Ines Sabalic ‘If we reject Americans, we open road to Brussels’ – “It is very unlikely the new International Criminal Court will come to life, be strong and efficient, but still it does not mean that Croatia should sign what America requests it to sign. If the Court fails, the EU will, although unjustly, accuse the countries of the western Balkans of screwing on the last nail on the coffin of the Court. Although the EU says there will be no sanctions for those who put signatures, but rather that Brussels will be ‘sad and disappointed’, the signature could make the road to Brussels very, very hard. The dilemma before the Croatian authorities is diabolically difficult – sign it, you will regret, do not sign it, you will regret. America is stronger than ever, the EU is weaker than ever before. America knows what it wants, the EU is guessing.” |
| SB on election promises and reality | Slobodna Bosna pgs. 10,11 and 66 ‘Tihic promised the construction of Gorazde-Sarajevo highway, Muratovic promised urgent investments of 2.5 billion KM in economy’ by Asim Metiljevic – an analysis of the governing political parties’ pre-election promises reveals a surprising lack of responsibility toward the public. The latest and drastic example of such discrepancy between the loudly spelled out goals and the current behavior by BiH politicians has been recently offered by the SDA. The party has promoted an idea that the high tariff goods are additionally taxed in order for a development foundation to be established. “Not entering into the quality of the proposal, one should recall that it was exactly the SDA party that advocated the reduction of taxes during the pre-election campaign,” Metiljevic concludes. |
| SB on Nikic’s removal | Slobodna Bosna pg. 21 ‘Nikic had been requesting resignation by Kalinic, who then revenged through his friend at the OHR’ by Suzana Andjelic – the appointment of an SDS official from Bijeljina, Cvijetin Nikic, as a member of the BiH Central Bank Steering Board, has been prevented by Ashdown’s Deputy, Donald Hays. In a letter of request, sent to Chairman of the BiH Presidency, Borislav Paravac, Hays said he would publish compromising details from Nikic’s biography if his appointment had not been withdrawn. “The question is why the OHR, if aware of such details, does not come out in public with them, since the public has the right to know who Cvijetin Nikic really is – a public office holder meaning the leader of the SDS in Bijeljina,” wrote Andjelic. |
| LJILJAN interview with Zgodic | Ljiljan pgs. 18-22 ‘What does consensus mean to us?’- an interview with Esad Zgodic, Professor at the Sarajevo University’s School of Political Sciences and a senior SDP official. Zgodic was the first intellectual in the country who had been scientifically dealing with the basic problem in functioning of this state, which is consensus. “Following 1990 and particularly following the Dayton Agreement signing, the ideological authorities and political leaderships in BiH have been permanently indoctrinating public with the allegedly crucial formula: parity, rotation and consensus, which is allegedly the main pre-condition for the survival of BiH itself,” said Zgodic. He however added that the consensus as the supreme method in the decision making process in BiH actually represents a way to block any adoption of decisions and laws. |

| CRHB at 18:00 hrs – the OSCE says BiH must downsize its armed forces by half.

| BH DANI on Vc corridor | BH Dani pgs. 20-30 ‘A dream or reality’ by Senad Pecanin – the magazine dossier on the possible construction of the Budapest-Osijek-Sarajevo-Ploce highway (so-called Vc corridor). “It seems that the initial step has been made. After the BiH-Malaysian joint venture, the ‘Bosmal’ has addressed the authorized state bodies with a proposal for an investment and the construction of the Vc corridor highway. A hope has appeared that BiH would not be the only European country without the highwayanymore,” Pecanin wrote. In an interview for the magazine (pgs. 8-11 ‘Yes, we are ready for the construction of the highway’), ‘Bosmal’ Director, Edin Sabanovic, confirmed that the company had sent a letter of intent to the BiH Council of Ministers with an offer to start designing the the Vc corridor through BiH. “If we get a positive response, we are prepared to, on the basis of 40-year concession, fully finance and implement the construction of a part of the highway going through BiH,” said Sabanovic. The magazine also presents the views on the issue by some of the top BiH and international officials in BiH. While Head of the World Bank Mission to BiH, Joseph Ingram says that there are no conditions for the construction of the highway, BiH CoM Chairman, Adnan Terzic, emphasizes that nothing concrete has been done with regard to this project. He added that he ‘would not like to spend his entire mandate just talking about the highway’. Branko Dokic, BiH Minister for Transport and Communications, FBiH Prime Minister Ahmet Hadzipasic, FBiH Finance Minister Dragan Vrankic, Bosniak member of the Presidency Sulejman Tihic and BiH Foreign Minister Mladen Ivanic essentially support the Bosmal initiative. |

Asked whether SIPA employees will have police authorities, Colak says that there are very strong efforts exerted in that direction and that he personally is not against it, however, then it is necessary to harmonize a few laws. “If we make it, then SIPA employees could get the police authorities and investigate all those cases starting from war crimes to crime, corruption and terrorist acts that are under the competence of the state Prosecutor’s Office and the BiH Court.” |
