From: Mirjana Petrovic <almirja@cotton.vislab.olemiss.edu>
SARAJEVO - The UN accused the Muslim government in Sarajevo
of "doing absolutely nothing to prevent harassment and mistreat
ment of the Serbs" remaining in the parts of Sarajevo which,
following the signing of the Dayton agreement, came under the
Muslim control, reports Reuters. The IPTF spokesman Aleksander
Ivanko stated at a press conference that "Serb houses and flats
are being set to fire, families are threatened with death, while
shoots can be heard from Serb houses in Vogosca and Osijek by
nights".
STOCKHOLM - Professor Peter Valenstein, expert for interna
tional policy, from the Upsali University, warned that the insis
iting on the arrest of the Republika Srpska (RS) president Rado
van Karadzic and the RS Army commander general Ratko Mladic can
cause a great risk for the longterm stability in the region.
"This proceeding is viewed by the majority of Serbs as an extreme
humiliation, and it can make of their leaders suffers of its own
kind", stated professor Valenstein for the Swede Radio.
TESALONIKI - The diplomats of France, Great Britain, Russia
and Germany are slowly distancing themselves from their initial
position regarding the arrest of RS president Radovan Karadzic
and the VRS commander general Ratko Mladic, writes the Greek
paper Elephtertipia. "Although the EU countries remain consistent
to their position that Karadzic and Mladic must be removed from
their functions, it is obvious that they doubtful about a possi
ble reaction by the Serbian people in the event that NATO or any
other force try o arrest their leaders", says the Greek paper.
GLAMOC - Croatian authorities allowed, at around 15:00 hrs,
a team of 20 workers from Banjaluka to enter the Republic of
Croatia territory and to continue the exhumation of the bodies of
fallen Serb soldiers form the mass grave in the village of Kamen,
near Glamoc. It return, Croats demanded the exhumation of nine
Corat soldiers - members of the "Black Mambas" unit, who were
killed last fall while tried to cross the Sava River and commit
an terrorist act in the Kozarska Dubica area - to start simulta
neously.
SKOPLJE - President of the Democratic Party of Serbs (DPS)
in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (BJRM) Dragisa
Miletic, assessed in Skoplje that the Hague Tribunal has an
biased approach towards the civil war in the Former B-H. At a
press conference, Miletic stated that "it can be said with a
great certainty that the purpose of the Hague Tribunal is the
arrests and stanisation of the Serbs, while its role in punishing
the Muslims and Croats is symbolic".
HERCEG-NOVI - Eighty domestic and 20 foreign publishers from
Russian, Hungary and Ukraine, will take part at the Igalo book
fair which will be opened until August 11.
