Annan meets with members of BiH Council of Ministers
The BiH Council of Ministers informed UN General Secretary Kofi Annan on the situation in BiH, problems in implementation of Annex 7 of the Dayton Agreement and the BiH economy. Council Co-chairman Svetozar Mihajlovic stated after the meeting that both Bosnian entities and the three constituent people are more-or-less equally guilty for non-implementation of Annex 7. He rejected allegations by Co-chairman Haris Silajdzic that the RS and Serb people are solely to blame for non-implementation of the annex. Mihajlovic added that he does not accept the Silajdzic claim that returns only occur to Sarajevo and the BiH Federation. During the meeting, Silajdzic insisted on the establishment of BiH borders and reform of the legal system and pointed out the need for blanket laws.

BiH Council of Ministers holds session
The BiH Council of Ministers met on Tuesday and discussed numerous agenda points but did not reach a consensus on any one point. After the meeting, Deputy Co-chairman Neven Tomic affirmed that resignations are also one of the ways to de-block the Council’s work, but added that there should be more political dialogue. Co-chairman Haris Silajdzic said that political obstructions to the Dayton Agreement are an issue and that they have been going on for so long that all Council members should resign before the end of year if they do not achieve concrete results. According to Silajdzic, the political destruction of the Dayton Agreement can be measured according to achieved results and the only part implemented in the Dayton Agreement was its military aspects.
