Chairman of the B&H Presidency, Zivko Radisic had separate meetings with Brcko Supervisor, Farrand and Brcko Major, Borko Reljic. After the meeting with R. Farrand, Radisic said they had had detailed talks related to implementation of the Supplementary Arbitration Award. He also said that Annex VII of the Dayton Peace Accord must be respected and that one cannot favour any of the three possibilities regarding return given in that document. Asked to comment on Izetbegovic’s statement that he would resign if Brcko is awarded to the RS, Radisic said: “I believe that Mr. Izetbegovic, in that context, measures his personal and political responsibility towards his people with such a statement, but I would like to remind that the DA places Brcko in the RS, that the RS, according to Dayton, has territorial continuity and that the Dayton Agreement states that only the inter-entity boundary line is in question and that it should be resolved through arbitration”.
