SARAJEVO - "The pressures upon Republika Srpska (RS) and the Serbian Democratic Party on the part of the international commu nity continues with the aim at making it impossible for the Party to run in the elections, thus promoting the puppet parties from RS and the Muslim parties from the Federation of B-H, in order to establish a puppet rule here and dismantle RS by its drowning into B-H. In order to prevent negative developments, President Radovan Karadzic the first decided not to candidate for at the September elections. However, additional pressures came for President Karadzic to abandon the Party's functions and any influence upon the elections, with threats that the Party will be excluded from the elections, while the sanctions will be reim posed on Yugoslavia and RS. Being led by these motives, president Karadzic decided to quit his post as party chief, thus the func tion, authorities and responsibilities of the SDS president are frozen until the new elections within the Party.

HAN - PIJESAK - The assistant to the chiefof-staff of Repub- lika Srpska Army (VRS), general Zdravko Tolimir, and the IFOR ground forces commander, general Michael Walker, talked in Han Pijesak about the cooperation between the VRS and IFOR in the implementation of the peace accords. Following the meeting, general Tolimir assessed the Serb Army and IFOR fulfilled all prerequisites for the successful implementation of the civilian part of the peace agreement.

BEOGRAD - The withdrawal of RS president Radovan KAradzic from the position of SDS president was not called for by the Dayton agreement, but is rather a result of the frequent pres sures by the US administration, says an announcement of the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS).

BEOGRAD - The Chief of the Belgrade OSCE Office, Zivota de Luka, stated in Belgrade that refugees from the former B-H will not be enabled to vote in Yugoslavia at September elections if they want to give their vote for RS candidates. At a press con ference, de Luka stated such regulations brought by the OSCE Provisional Electoral Commission, allow those who are to vote for candidates on the CoratMuslim Federation's lists to do so in Yugoslavia.

BANJALUKA - The Association of Expelled Serbs from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Croatia, sent a public protest due to forbidding the RS citizens who were not registered in the 1991 census from voting at the upcoming elections. The protest says the Provisional Electoral Commission, remaining blind to demands of the RS institutions in charge and the Association, as well, definitely negated the right to vote to a large number of RS citizens.

BANJALUKA - The international community tends to use the arbitrage over Brcko to maintain the present tensions and bring up new pressures upon the Serbian people before the elections, stated the president of the Serb Party of Krajina, Predrag Gugo Lazarevic. He warned, at a press conference in Banjaluka, that "there must be neither any bid over Brcko, nor any trade must be allowed which might endanger the position of the Serbian people."

ZVORNIK - The deputy of the RS National Assembly Jovo Mija tovic, assessed that September elections will show the threats and blackmails of the international community can not help a lot when in question a rip of the Serbian people on the left bank of the Drina River." He added that the RS is ready for elections which, it hopes, will be held in a democratic atmosphere".
