SARAJEVO, Feb 3 (Hina) - President of the Croatian Democratic Union
of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ante Jelavic, and some extremists from this
party are evidently trying to establish institutions which are
illegal, non-constitutional and contrary to the Dayton Agreement,
spokesman for the Office of the High Representative (OHR), Chris
Bird, said Saturday in comment of the Bosnian Croat National
Assembly proclaiming in Mostar a temporary Croat self-government
in areas mostly populated by Bosnian Croats.
The OHR wishes to stress that the so-called self-government of the
Croat people is an illegal fiction, Bird said.
He said the OHR, nor any other international organisation would not
tolerate any threats, nor would they be prepared to negotiate the
creation of a third entity in the country.
The gates of dialogue remain open to those representatives of the
Croat people in Bosnia-Herzegovina who wish to participate in
legitimate bodies of authority, and Jelavic will be personally held
responsible for all illegal acts of the HDZ of the Croat National
assembly, he said.
