PODGORICA - Agreed dead line, according to which Montenegrin Electric Power Industry should have paid out $1.4 millions of dollars as a debt to the RS Electric Power Industry, has expired.

The dead line has expired yesterday, and Montenegrin Electric Power Industry must provide additional U.S.$ 1.4 millions to pay off RS for electric power. BANJALUKA - At the fourth regular session of the RS NA, the Government proposed that everything regarding the Budget should be discussed in a form of proposal and not a draft. The RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik informed delegates that the Government had decided that the Bill on Internal Affairs must be redrawn from the session because some of its regulations had to be brought into accordance with OHR requests as well as the Bill on Changes and Amendments of the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance. The Bill on RS Electric Power Industry provoked many arguments because it had anticipated transferring of this institution from Srpsko Sarajevo to Banjaluka. Regarding the request of the copresiding of the Council of Ministers, Haris Silajdzic, for assessment of constitutionality of the Law on privatisation of firms, forwarded to the Constitutional Court, Boro Bosic addressed delegates emphasising that this request was not in accordance with the B&H Constitution.

The IPTF spokeswoman Catty Leaden stated that there were no any information about possible incidents on the interentity boundary line (IEBL) but they would be ready if anything happens. The plan anticipates permanent session of joint staff in the seat of the International Police, which includes SFOR and IPTF representatives. BRCKO - An announcement of the vice-president of Executive Board Brcko Municipal Assembly, Mirsad Islamovic, that in the case that Brcko stays within RS, the Muslims will take the city by force after the international forces leave the town, has provoked problems. He stated this on March 12 in an open programme of the television of Tuzla and Podrinje. The mayor of Brcko Borko Reljic emphasised in a statement for SRNA that he was surprised with this sort of stances of his associates, who are destroying hardly gained trust and cooperation of the newly created multiethnic authority in the town. He warned OHR and OSCE in Brcko that it was unnecessary to raise tensions in the moment decisive for the peace in the town and whole region. BRCKO - The announced cultural manifestation "Brcko '97" in Brcko has been cancelled on recommendation of the RS Government.

BANJALUKA - The RS Police and Army fought shoulder to shoulder in the war, but I hope there will be no need for that any longer, the RS Defence Minister Manojlo Milovanovic emphasised in the Centre for MUP's personnel education in Banjaluka , where 320 students of fifth and sixth classes took the solemn oath. "Policemen and their young colleagues are being educated so they could serve the law in the first place, and only then the power, so I congratulate you on the oath which you have to remember as long as live", Milovanovic emphasised. ZAGREB - The president of B&H Croatian Democratic Party (HDZ), Bozo Rajic, regrets that OSCE is organising elections again, scheduled for September 12 and 13 and warns that "the international community, with an announcement that election rules will be changed, wants to reduce influence of national parties". The Presidency of B&H HDZ made conclusions at a session in Mostar about marking of border crossings in that Croat-controlled part of B&H, about maintaining of the border regime, but no political party, but only the common B&H organs, can deal with the problem. MAR. 14, 1998 EVENINGNEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKABANJALUKA - The National Assembly of Republika Srpska (RS) will not make a stand on events in Kosovo and the arbitrage for Brcko, since neither of these propositions were included on the agenda. The Serbian Democratic Party's and Radical Party's (SDS) Clubs of Representatives proposed for RS Parliament to comment two of their common declarations on Kosovo and Brcko, while the Socialists, Serbian National Union (SNS) and Party of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) insisted for a parliamentary group for coordination of declarations to be formed. After almost five hours of discussion the representatives of the RS Parliament finally managed in the third part of the forth regular session to adopt the agenda with 38 items on it. After the agenda had been adopted, the fourth break was taken.BANJALUKA - The RS Minister of Internal Affairs Milovan Stankovic and Minister of Religions Jovo Turanjanin took a solemn oath in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Banjaluka, and the act was previously hallowed by His Holiness the bishop of Banjaluka, Mr. Jefrem. Stankovic and Turanjanin were not able to take the solemn oath at the first session of the RS National Assembly. BELGRADE - The laws of RS have to govern in Brcko, and if it is not like that, i.e. if that is not decided in the arbitration procedure, then the new Government will not have a reason to exist any longer, the RS Defence Minister Manojlo Milovanovic warned in an interview with the Belgrade's "Duga". He emphasised that the Government set itself the task to keep Brcko within RS also after the arbitrage, and reminded that "66,6% of all RS citizens live west from Brcko, as well as 72% of economic capacities are in that region". BELGRADE - The president of SDS for Serbia Dragoljub Kojcic said that the international community regarding the Brcko's status "is still observing the situation and trying to see whether the RS Prime Minister is candidate good enough for its policy". "If it convinced itself that Dodik would be the reliable winner in the elections scheduled for September 12 and 13, then the international community would give Brcko to him, so he could establish administrative unity and power in all parts of RS", Kojcic assessed during a break of a session of the SDS Main Board. OSLO, ZAGREB - About 1,300 Serbs from Eastern Slavonia sought asylum in Norway (about 40 requests are arriving every day), but they will most probably be sent home, Norwegian representatives for human rights said. "Serbs are arriving every day. Their situation has to be immediately solved", the vice-president of Norway- Helsinki Committee Erik Solheim warned in Zagreb. BANJALUKA - At the session in Banjaluka the RS National Assembly adopted the Draft of Amendment 66 of the RS Constitution's Article 79, which anticipates for the National Assembly's Presidency to be consisted of a president and three vicepresidents, so parliamentary parties could adequately be represented in the RS Assembly's leadership. The representatives also adopted the proposition of the National Assembly's Presidency to publish in media the Draft of Amendment 66 and submit it to a public discussion, which will last from March 14 to April 5. After the public discussion, the propositions will be examined by the Constitutional Commission, and then the Government and the RS National Assembly. The president of the National Assembly, Dragan Kalinic, stopped in the continuation of the session the discussion on the Budget Proposal, so the representatives could submit amendments of this proposition and the Government consider them, presented by the Minister of Finance Novak Kondic. Kalinic called all delegates to submit their amendments on the Budget Proposal to Mr. Kondic. The chairman of SDS Presidency Aleksa Buha asked for the session to be interrupted, so the Government could discuss the Budget Proposal again and make new propositions tomorrow. In the framework of the discussion on the fourth item on the agenda, the RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik proposed National Assembly to adopt the Budget Proposal. Answering objections of representatives concerning the Budget Proposal, Dodik emphasised that because of inflow of means, already approved by the international community, it is necessary to pass the Budget. BANJALUKA - Since the RS National Assembly did not accept the Proposal of Declaration on Kosovo and Brcko, submitted by representatives' clubs of SDS and SRS, the RS Socialist Party (SP RS) offered its proposal, in which it is being emphasised that Kosovo is an internal matter of the Republic of Serbia. NEW YORK - All that is left from "Kosovo Liberation Army" are rebel gangs, the New York Times writes in an article, titled "Albanian rebel gangs are in mountains in Kosovo".
