INTERNATIONAL OFFICER VISITS TRAVNIK

( Editorial: --> 6711 ) TRAVNIK, July 9 (Hina)- Travnik, the seat of the central Bosnian canton, was visited on Thursday by high official of the international community in BH, Hanns Schumacher. After a separate meeting with Croat representatives he asked for an urgent integration of the cantonal interior ministry as a prerequisite for better security in Travnik. "I will do my best so that the investigation of the murders of Travnik Croats would track down not only the perpetrators but also any political or criminal quarters that might be behind them", said Schumacher, adding that the investigation will be backed by the International Police (IPTF). Schumacher stressed that Travnik should be organised as a council of municipalities, along the same lines as Mostar. He asked that the cantonal assembly adopted a relevant constitutional amendment so that the working groups could start the restructuring process. After Schumacher supported the restitution of the former Jesuit high-school to the Vrhbosanska diocese, Besim Halilovic, head of the Travnik municipality promised that by the end of the day he would hand the keys of the high-school building, along with the decision on its restitution, to the principal of the local Catholic school. Schumacher expressed his satisfaction with the promise and said he would personally inform Cardinal Vinko Puljic about it and check on Thursday night whether the promise was kept.
