JULY 13 1997 EVENING
NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
BANJALUKA - The president in the B-H Presidency, from Republika Srpska (RS)
Momcilo Krajisnik, stated in Slatina that his meeting with RS president
Biljana Plavsic was not held because of her health problems, but was
hopeful the meeting would take place tomorrow as a part of the efforts to
overcome the new crisis. President Krajisnik gave several suggestions
in that direction at last night's meeting with president Plavsic,
attended by RS vice-president Dragoljub Mirjanic and first vicepresident of
the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) Aleksa Buha. "I suggested that the
decision dissolving the RS National Assembly and the initiative to recall
the RS president be withdrawn, and I suggested to make a public appeal to
people not to take sides", stated Krajisnik adding that "all statements
nourishing the rift should not be referred to".
BANJALUKA - The constitutional crisis, caused by senseless decision to
dissolve the RS National Assembly, and the murder and arrest in Prijedor
should be taken in the same context - creation of instability and turmoil
in RS", assessed the president of the RS National Assembly, Dragan Kalinic,
adding that the events in Prijedor can serve as a lesson for us all. "All
this is deemed to bring self-rescinding of RS and introduction of
protectorate", warned Kalinic in his TV address to public. While mentioning
that the war was defensive one, he warned that "a climate of uncertainty is
being created in RS for everyone who took upon the arms or otherwise fought
war for defended RS".
BANJALUKA - The president of the House of Representatives of the B-H
Parliamentarian Assembly from RS Slobodan Bijelic, stated in Banjaluka that
"in the current constitutional crisis we have to turn around, for it is a
very risky time for big decisions". "Crime cannot be a valid reason for
this kind of hazard and adventure. The RS existence is recognised by the
Dayton agreement, that is why we have to fortify its borders and work in
the interest of the people and wellbeing in general", assessed Bijelic in a
special TV programme.
BANJALUKA - The former Prijedor police chief, Simo Drljaca, killed by SFOR
troops on June 10, was buried today at the St. Pantelija graveyard in
Banjaluka, in presence of his family, friends, fellow soldiers and top RS
officials.
BANJALUKA - Cowardly murdering the former chief of police in Prijedor, Simo
Drljaca, the attackers wanted to kill our idea of state, kill our police
and army and thus leave us without protection, stated deputy minister of
interior, Milenko Karisik, in his speech delivered at the burial of Simo
Drljaca.
THE HAGUE - The British defence secretary George Robertson stated that NATO
would go on with arrests, and that last week's events in Prijedor were
"just the beginning". According to him, SFOR operations are connected with
"impatience of Muslim authorities in B-H, who want to see the suspects in
Tribunal's detention department as soon as possible". The Dutch media
believe NATO is cooperating with Muslim leadership on this issue, and that
the secret lists of war crimes suspects contain only Serb names.
