| Ivanic says RS is in political crisis
| Herceg Bosna Radio, Oslobodjenje pg 5 ‘Entity and party’s head of diplomacy’, SRNA, FENA – BiH Foreign Minister Mladen Ivanic, who is also the chairman of the Party of Democratic Progress (PDP), said late on Monday that the RS had entered a political, and not institutional crisis, due to the dismissal of 59 officials from public and political life. “The RS has lately achieved great results in the spheres of military reforms, establishing VAT, unified TV system, commission for Srebrenica and others, but the dismissals followed after the cooperation, which is unjust,” Ivanic said for Bijeljina-based BN Television. He said that the RS, because of BiH’s candidacy for the NATO’s Partnership for Peace, “went as far as to change its constitution”. Ivanic believes that the international community has so far only established the relationship of “who is next and when” with the RS, which, as he said, is a proof of disrespect for the RS in the light of the reforms it has implemented. He asked that the OHR launch the fight against crime, but not to abuse it, which was the case with the current dismissals of 59 RS officials. Ivanic said that these dismissals had the aim to pose the question of whether the RS leadership was the legitimate choice for leading the entity or not. “What would our credibility be if we accepted this just like that and stayed calm? What can they tell people they are settling for? Nothing, of course, and that is why this is the right moment for setting elementary principles,” Ivanic said. He added that “the international community will not force the RS to implement reforms by threatening with punishment, but the RS will do it itself, according to its wishes”. |

The author also raises the question what is the point of the latest removals, noting that the problem of BiH does not rest with individuals, but with absence of proper institutions and system. The author also wonders why “British Lord” has done this just now, after having admitted nationalistic party officials were reformists, elected by people. He concludes the article by saying: “The latest decisions might result in ethnic homogenisation? Or, was this, God forbid, a real goal of the British Lord? Or is it just a phobia chasing me? Who knows?” Nezavisne Novine op-ed pg 7 ‘Any sort of extremism is dangerous for BiH’ by Miro Lazovic – The author is expressing support to the latest decision of HR Paddy Ashdown, saying that everybody were somewhat surprised over such a bulk of removals.
