When it comes to arrest of war criminals, Radovan Karadzic in particular, Dodik says that the RS authorities were through stories on capture of Karadzic in fact building an epic myth that he cannot be caught, noting that everyone, who is charged with war crimes, has to go to The Hague and prove his/her innocence. Questioned to comment on a thesis that the Serbs in Mostar are divided into SDA/SBiH and HDZ-loyal Serbs, Dodik says some of those Serbs were in fact taking care of their personal, material and other statuses, noting that it is clear that the policy of the SDA and HDZ in Mostar expelled many Serbs from the city.

| Herceg Bosna Radio, Oslobodjenje pg 6 ‘Too many rates not good’, Dnevni Avaz pg 4 ‘VAT Law must not be complicated at the very beginning’, FENA – The introduction of VAT will help the BiH economy, but at the same time ensure adequate revenue for the functioning of state and entity institutions, Principal Deputy High Representative Donald Hays told FENA on Monday. Commenting on ongoing debates on the draft VAT Law, and especially on the possible introduction of different VAT rates, Hays said that this law needed to be in accordance with EU standards. “This is critical because the EU stressed that this is a precondition for entering the accession process,” Hays said. He urged BiH parliamentarians to fully use the expertise they have at their disposal within the Government and the international community. Hays stressed that if this law is made too complicated in the beginning its implementation will be almost impossible. He reminded that only 50 percent of BiH citizens are paying taxes and stressed that what needs to be developed is a more transparent system in which the people will have more faith and that will be easier to manage. If too many rates are set then it will probably be difficult to explain the law, funds will be difficult to collect and instead of increasing, revenues will decrease. “We need to think practically. You can always adjust the system once it starts to function and when people know how to deal with it,” Hays told FENA. |
