NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

BANJALUKA - The president of Republika Srpska (RS) Biljana Plavsic approved in Banjaluka the study of Venetian Commission for Human Rights in B-H, which proposes that the institution of ombudsman be formed in RS and the Federation of B-H, as a kind of court for human rights which would monitor the activities of the state bodies. "In talks with three-member delegation of the Venetian Commission, which works as a part of the Council of Europe as an independent advisory body, we concluded that the judges in this institution could not be members of any political party, which means they should be politically neutral and should cooperate with other courts", announced the RS Presidential Cabinet.

BRCKO - The RS premier, Gojko Klickovic opened the 4th Trade Fair "Brcko '97", using this opportunity to say that this fair "shows our transparency for economic cooperation and our working abilities, and reaffirms our determination that Brcko remains in RS". First visitors were supervisor for Brcko, Robert Farrand, co-president in the Council of Ministers, Boro Bosic, and Brcko authorities. They visited 180 stands of exhibitors from RS, Yugoslavia and abroad. "Brcko represents the most important door into RS and has features of our home, for this city links all Serb nationals", stated Klickovic.

NOVI SAD - The RS Government delegation talked in Novi Sad with the president of the Executive Board of the Novi Sad Municipality, Caslav Popovic about preparations for the up-coming local elections in B-H, especially in view of numerous refugees - eligible voters - from B-H who live in Novi Sad, and about the organisation of administration and local administration in RS, based upon example of Novi Sad's administration.

BANJALUKA - The IPTF spokesman for South-West Sector, Alaun Roberts, stated at a press conference in Lukavica that in future RS and Federal police forces should report their check points to IPTF, and added the most of requests for check points came from the police in Travnik - 116, only 56 of which IPTF authorised, while the rest of them were removed with SFOR's help. Roberts said that after a short pause, the setting of Serb houses to fire in the area of Drvar resumed.

BANJALUKA - In the Main Court in Banjaluka, a trial to Alija Izetbegovic, charged for war crimes against Serb civilians, continues.

BIJELJINA - The RS Army (VRS) has been restructured on the base of its war- time experience, and now, it meets preconditions for a full organisational/formative structuring according to demands of modern warfare, stated deputy head of the VRS General Staff, colonel Vinko Pandurevic in his interview for the newest edition of "Vojska" magazine, and added: "We carried out reformation of peace-time and war-time part of our military with the aim at creating a mobile and effective army with a high level of combat readiness, and we also kept all experts with good war experience".

PARIS - A pivotal mistake made by EU and USA was the recognition of B-H in spring of 1992, "when absolutely everything indicated that it was a fuelling of conflict and when in late 1992 it was clear that we had to deal with pure Muslim authority of Alija Izetbegovic and Ejup Ganic". These evaluations by Lord David Owen are published in the "Balkan-Enfo" together with passages from the book "Balkan Odyssey", which has never been published in France, for "it discloses a shameful role of France and its then foreign minister Alain Juppe in the B-H war".

BEOGRAD - The Partiarchate of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) denied claims that SPC bishops refused to meet with Madlen Albrigt on Saturday. As the SPC reveals, "clams of some Belgrade's media that bishops did not want to meet with Albright are not true, but the meeting did not take place because Madlen Albright did not want to meet them".

BEOGRAD - The sole guilty party for an unsatisfactory voters turnout for the registration for local elections in B-H is OSCE, which imposed restrictive conditions for voting, and practically ruined the Dayton agreement, warns Pero Djurdjevic, the secretary of the Association of the Serbs from B-H, for "Politika Express". According to him, OSCE rules for voters registration diverted the majority of refugees from registering themselves, so until now, only eight percent of last year's voters from the Federation now living in RS registered themselves.

DOBOJ - The frequent banditry at the so-called "Blue Road", a part of Zenca- Tuzla highway which runs through the municipality of Doboj, is the consequence of the latest SFOR decisions to enable RS police to carry out its regular duties, reports the Executive Board of the Doboj Municipality.

SARAJEVO - The FAMOS "Koran-Pale" factory won the Gold Medal for Quality for its automatic two-row planter "PSA-02", at the 21st Novi Sad International Fair of forestry and agricultural machinery.
