SOFIA - The Bulgarian media gave a lot of attention to journalists of the Serbian Press Agency - SRNA - who paid a visit to Bulgaria and the SRNA's general director and editor-in-chief, Branislav Ilic who took part at a press conference in the International Press Centre in Sofia. "SRNA was established immediately after the war broke out in the former B&H, in order to save the Serbian people from satanisation, informing them timely and accurately", the Balkan Informative Pool cites Ilic's words, assessing that SRNA has maximally justified its existence.

AMSTERDAM - The western states leaders are not willing to admit that the arms in the Dayton B&H is silence only because all the parties are hoping that the Peace agreement won't be implemented in its entirety, assesses the Volkskrant's correspondent Bart Rais. "The Serbs signed the Dayton agreement for it guaranteed the RS legitimacy to them, although a little bit less than they expected to get territorially, but still with enough elements of statehood and sovereignty", points Rais.
