MOSTAR, Feb 28 (Hina) - The Bosnian Constitutional Court on Thursday officially confirmed it decided to discontinue a Sarajevo Canton Court pre-trial investigation of Ante Jelavic, the president of Bosnia's Croatian Democratic Union
party. The president of the Constitutional Court said the discontinuation was temporary and would last until the Court made a final decision in this case. Jelavic's attorney Josip Muselimovic recently urged the Constitutional Court to proclaim the Sarajevo Canton Court not competent in the case as Jelavic is charged with crimes committed in Mostar and not Sarajevo. Jelavic is charged with endangering Bosnia's territorial integrity when he proclaimed temporary Bosnian Croat self-government at a Croat National Congress session in Mostar in the spring of 2001, and of undermining Bosnia's defence power last year when he dissolved units of the Croat Defence Council, the Croat component
