SARAJEVO, 17 Feb (Hina) - Hans Schumacher, the Deputy High
Representative for the implementation of the Dayton peace
agreement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, requested that measures be taken
to stop police illegally earning money on the exchange of
registration plates for vehicles in B-H.
A spokesman for the High Representative's office, Simon Haselock,
announced on Tuesday in Sarajevo that Schumacher has forwarded this
request in writing to the responsible senior officials in the
Bosnian Councils of Ministers and Interior Ministries of the two
entities.
"It is an unaccepatble fact that some police stations responsible
for the issue of joint registration plates are charging an
administration fee of 50 to 120 deutschemarks," it says in
Schumacher's letter with a reminder that it is agreed that only the
production cost of the plates be charged and that is DM15.
According to Simon Haselock this practice has only been noticed on
the territory of the Croat-Muslim Federation of Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
UN spokesman Alexander Ivanko today said that in Republika Srpska
to date the reverse practice has been noticed. "There you can get
new registration plates for DM4," said Ivanko.
According to the previous agreement between the Office of the High
Representative and B-H officials from the two entities, the
exchange of registration plates will stay at DM15 until the end of
March but after that could increase to DM30. These measures were
agreed to encourage as many citizens of B-H to exchange the old
plates for new number plates which do not have any regional
symbols.
