Return of Bosniaks to RS depends on connections with refugees in Diaspora – SDA
The SDA believes that the return of Bosniaks to the RS is one of the main preconditions for the reintegration of BiH, which is why they initiated aid for return to the RS in cooperation with their Diaspora. The party is doing this because the RS Ministry for Refugees is not working towards resolution of this problem. The BiH Federation Ministry for Refugees is not in a position (to help) and state institution for this issue has not yet been established. SDA Vice-president Sulejman Tihic stated that they have gathered approximately 130,000 KM worth of aid to-date, which has been distributed to Bosanski Novi, Kotor Varos and Kopaci.

Representatives of Brcko multiethnic authority on priorities for future
All representatives of the Brcko multiethnic authorities agree that the OHR’s “silent man” International Brcko Supervisor Robert Farrand, performs his responsible job systematically, although some of them believe that this is going very slowly. Deputy Brcko Mayor Ivan Krndelj stated that it is better to be late several months than to bring certain decisions hastily and make mistakes. President of the Brcko Assembly Mirsad Djapo stated that the return of 20 families to Brcko weekly is in accordance with the decision of the Multiethnic Municipal Commission. Brcko Assembly Vice-president Bogdan Savija stated that he expects prosperity in the spring, but that prosperity can only be expected with those who are ready to work on implementation of District laws and tasks.
