BANJA LUKA, Jan 12 (Hina) - The chairman of the Bosnian Serb National
Assembly, Dragan Kalinic, said on Monday that the Interior Ministry of
Republika Srpska was under an obligation to be fully involved in
operations by the Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in search of war crimes
suspects.#L#
Kalinic was speaking after a three-day search in Pale, east of
Sarajevo, for Radovan Karadzic, Bosnian Serb wartime leader who is
wanted by the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague on genocide
charges.
He expressed doubt that the operation was carried out in accordance
with the mandate given to the international peacekeeping force under
the 1995 Dayton peace agreement that ended the war in
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Kalinic, who also represents the Pale constituency in the assembly,
said he "sincerely sympathised" with all the people who had found
themselves in unpleasant situations during the Orthodox Church
holidays and that he felt "contempt" for everything that had been
going on in Pale at the time.
