SARAJEVO, Sept 8 (Hina) - The Office of the High Representative to
Bosnia-Herzegovina (OHR) hold sad the fact that a member of the
three-manned state Presidency could call on people to ignore laws,
OHR spokeswoman in Sarajevo Alexandra Stiglmayer said Wednesday.
The Office reacted to Alija Izetbegovic's invitation on a cessation
of implementing court decisions on evictions of people from flats
into which refugees and displaced persons should return.
In a statement published by Sarajevo media, Izetbegovic said it was
unacceptable to evict refugees who cannot return to their pre-war
homes, and requested that such decisions do not be implemented.
Annex 7 of the Dayton Agreement is clear. Refugees have the right to
return to their homes as well as the right on the restitution of
their property. This is their inalienable right and an
unconditional process, Stiglmayer told Hina.
She stressed that the realisation of the rights of a person cannot
and should not be connected with respect of the right of another
person.
Such comments only create new problems instead of contributing to
the solving of existing problems, Stiglmayer said.
The Office of the High Representative is concerned with
Izetbegovic's latest claims, and will request an explanation of
such an action.
