PRESIDENT CLINTON FORWARDS LETTER TO BOSNIAN PRESIDENCY CHAIRMAN

SARAJEVO, July 28 (Hina) - The Unites States President Bill Clinton forwarded a letter to the chairman of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency, Ante Jelavic, in which he reiterated the interest of the United States in the success of the upcoming summit on Stability Pact for Southeast Europe to be held in Sarajevo on July 30, including a direct encouragement to the further implementation of the Dayton Agreement, Jelavic's Office reported on Wednesday. The US President stressed that the Stability Pact was a significant opportunity for the promotion of visions of a Southeast Europe based on the cooperation and democracy. Clinton expressed hope that BH and its neighbours would draw a plan of cooperation which would contribute to the realisation of this goal. President Clinton also called on Jelavic to initiate the infrastructure issue, as well as issues of long-term development and stability, and market reforms and regional security. President Clinton once again pointed to the significance of the fact that Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic had not been invited to participate in the summit, and added that Serbia would be able to integrate into the international community only when the current president is no longer in power.
