News Summary
Petritsch and Meigs visit Panjik and Motovo
High Representative Wolfgang Petritsch, SFOR Commander Montgomery Meigs and the US, Finnish, Dutch and Swedish Ambassadors to BiH visited the villages of Panjik, near Tuzla, and Motovo near Zvornik. Meigs stated that it is ironic that the first Serb returnees to Panjik are elderly men and that success would be achieved if young people return. Meigs said it would be tragic if they could not be supplied with the primary conditions for return. The IC has started projects for establishing water and electric utilities in Panjik. The IC representatives visited the village of Motovo near Zvornik where Bosniaks had started to return. Petritsch stated that the IC should build an electric distribution utility, construct houses and return people to work. Serb and Bosniak returnees have been welcomed by citizens in Motovo and Panjik, but the majority of them do not have jobs.

OHR in Drvar on Croat barracks
Special OHR Commissioner for Drvar Peter Chapell stated that the OHR is against the construction of barracks for the HVO First Brigade in Drvar. Even if Serbs are a minority at this moment, it does not mean that they do not have rights to authority. Construction of the barracks will be discussed when the joint authority in Drvar starts to function, Chapell said.
