CRISIS AHEAD FOR BOSNIAN SERB GOVERNMENT?

SARAJEVO, Aug 23 (Hina) - The Coalition for Integral and Democratic Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday reached a decision by which it will refuse parliamentary support to the government of Republika Srpska, Bosnia's Serb entity, headed by Milorad Dodik. The presidents of the four parties making the Coalition, Alija Izetbegovic, Haris Silajdzic, Rasim Kadic, and Ibrahim Spahic today met in Sarajevo with Bosnian Muslim representatives in the RS parliament to analyse the Muslims' position in that entity. According to a statement from the meeting broadcast by Television Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Coalition concluded the Muslims' position in the RS was not improving and that the Dayton peace agreement had been blocked, especially the implementation of an annex on refugee return, that neither a multiethnic police nor judiciary was being established, and that war criminals were not being arrested. Given also the fact that RS Premier Dodik had not responded to the Coalition's demand that it take part in the Bosnian Serb parliament, the Coalition decided that as of August 29, it would refuse to support Dodik as they did so far.
