DECISION OF MOSTAR'S BOSNIAKS IS UNACCEPTABLE - OHR

MOSTAR, Nov 10 (Hina) - Office of the High Representative spokeswoman for Bosnia-Herzegovina Alexandra Stiglmayer on Tuesday said that a decision of Bosniak officials in Herzegovina- Neretva Canton, in line with which they were to freeze their cooperation with the Office of the High Representative in the southern Bosnia-Herzegovina town of Mostar, was unacceptable. Bosniak officials from Herzegovina-Neretva Canton said that in future they would only cooperate with the central office of the High Representative located in Sarajevo. High Representative Wolfgang Petritsch will not allow that someone gets to choose who will they and will not talk to, the spokeswoman said in an interview for the Mostar television of "Erotel" on Tuesday evening. Bosniak officials said such a decision was made due to Croatian Democratic Union's (HDZ) blocking of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton's functioning, as well as the functioning of the town of Mostar, and municipalities in the Canton. The Bosniaks added that the HDZ failed to implement decisions of the High Representatives as well as signed agreements in Mostar. (hina) it mm
