JUNE 8 1997 EVENING
NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BANJALUKA - The Special UN Rapporter for Human Rights, Elizabeth Rehn
expressed her pleasure with the new project of the president of the
Constitutional Court of Republika Srpska (RS), Gaso Mijanovic, envisioning
the framework and competence of the Ombudsman for human rights, stated RS
president Biljana Plavsic, after her meeting with Elizabeth Rehn in
Banjaluka. "I had a very open dialogue with Ms. Rehn about various subjects
concerning human rights, POW exchange and missing persons", said
president Plavsic.
ROGATICA - The RS Government is resolute to create working conditions and
proper accommodation first, and then to return refugees, stated the RS
prime minister Gojko Klickovic in Rogatica, adding that "forced arrival of
major groups of refugees is unacceptable". He said that "return of refugees
is organised in the entity of a dominant ethnic group, and all subsequent
actions will be done on the principles of reciprocity, while the organised
return of a larger number of minority ethnic groups is not possible yet,
for this process will take years, and even decades".
SARAJEVO - The head of the RS Union, Cedo Volas, warned in Sarajevo deputy
high representative Michael Steiner, that the aid RS received from the
international community was not sufficient, and that RS citizens are
increasingly unsatisfied. Volas is hopeful that significant amounts would
reach RS social funds which will effect the growth of salaries and pensions.
SARAJEVO - Setting Serb houses afire in Drvar on night between May 2 and 3
was a planned action, responsibility for which bear the Drvar authorities,
Croatian Defence Council (HVO) and Croatia, assessed the International
Crisis Group in its June 6 report. Other than 25 burned houses, and
additional 50 buildings were prepared for setting to fire, reads the report,
and were burned after an international delegation, led by mediator for
Federation of B-H Christian Schwartz Shilling, met local Croat authorities
to discuss the return of displaced Serbs to this area.
HAMBURG - Regarding a decision of Federal and province ministers of
interior to stop processing requests for return of Muslims and Croats from
Germany to RS until further notice, the "Frankfurter Raundshau" writes that
the "rigorous course has been lessened a little, but some more substantial
deviations from the course of deportation cannot be taken into account".
HAMBURG - Taught by experience from the past "trials" to Serbs in Austria
and Switzerland, Germany decided to avoid the legal term of individual
responsibility from its legal practice in case of Serbs. Other then Austria
and Germany, Switzerland found reasons for unfair processes against Serbs -
arrested and found guilty in advance - mainly in its wish to "get rid
of their Nazi past on account of Serbs", assess observers at
the processes. A Serb, Goran Grabez, accused and then released,
was the lucky one because the process did not take place in German
speaking area, for the press in German language had found him guilty in
advance.
