News Summary
International Community offers $30 million to support amendment of BiH Labor Law
BiH should amendment its existing Labor Law by the end of July 2000, and the International Community has offered $30 million to support this process. This was the main conclusion of a meeting between representatives of the International Economic Group and BiH officials in Sarajevo on Tuesday. “The existing BiH Labor Law is restrictive and it protects the acquired rights of a small group of workers, instead of creating new jobs through attracting foreign investments” World Bank Resident Head of Mission in BiH Joseph Ingram said after the meeting. The next meeting of the International Economy Group with BiH officials should deal with the harmonization of standards and fiscal policies of the BiH entities.

Delegates in Maglaj Municipal Council demand implementation of property laws in Bocinja village
The newly elected delegates in the Maglaj Municipal Council are determined to end the practice of ignoring property rights of the pre-war residents of the Bocinja village, and to ensure a safe climate for return. “The institution bearing the most responsibility for the unsafe environment in Bocinja is the local police force, so Maglaj Municipal Council delegates have initiated a procedure to dismiss the local chief of police” Maglaj Municipal Councilor Dzevad Galijasevic said on Tuesday. “Changing the structure of the Maglaj police force is the precondition to conduct evictions, which are essential for the start of the refugee return process to Bocinja” he concluded.
