INTERRUPTIONS IN REORGANISATION OF "EROTEL" COME FROM ZAGREB - OHR

SARAJEVO, Nov 9 (Hina) - If "Erotel" television form the southern Bosnia-Herzegovina town of Mostar refuses to adopt an interim permit for going on the air, issued by the Independent Media Commission in Bosnia-Herzegovina (IMC), it is going to be under the influence of certain persons from Zagreb who are more concerned about personal financial profit than interests of Bosnian Croats, deputy of the High Representative Simon Haselock said on Tuesday. At a press conference held in Sarajevo on Tuesday, Haselock said they did not receive any kind of an officials answer from Mostar on the adoption or the refusal of the interim permit, however, the Office of the High Representative was aware of rumours according to which "Erotel" could refuse the offered solution. Haselock said that the High Representative received a letter regarding that issue. The letter was written in German, however, according to Haselock, it was illiterate and ridiculous. This is a surprise, particularly because this is a transitional solution which needs to be based on the situation before the implementation of a moratorium on the establishment of new transmitters, Haselock said. The IMC issued the permit to "Erotel" for going on the air via 11 transmitters, while all other transmitters would be transferred to Bosnia-Herzegovina Radio Television once it is established.
