NON-COMPLIANCE WITH SINTRA DEADLINES WILL LEAD UP TO FINES - BULLI

FINES - BULLI $ VANT SARAJEVO, July 31 (Hina) - The high representative for the implementation of the Dayton Accord, Carlos Westendorp, will propose to Contact Group member-countries to undertake penalty measures for non-compliance with deadlines set in Sintra, the spokesman for Westendorp's office, Duncan Bullivant, told reporters in Sarajevo on Thursday. The parties in BH were required to adjust the arrangement of ambassadors, pass laws on citizenship and passports, and establish a state civil aviation administration by 1 August, he recalled. The final agreement on the arrangement of ambassadors was near completion, but nothing had been done in settling the issue of citizenship and passports, Bullivant said, and explained that tomorrow Westendorp would notify representatives of Contact Group member-countries about measures his office proposed. He refused to specify what might be undertaken, but confirmed that the issue of corruption would be at the top of the priority list. We welcome (chairman of the BH Presidency) Izetbegovic's decision to form a special commission to investigate this issue and we will cooperate with him, Bullivant said and called on other communities to investigate accusations of corruption in their lines. According to the high representative's spokesman, it was clear that Bosnian Serb war leader Radovan Karadzic was behind many instances of obstructions of the Dayton Accord. His influence on hindering the introduction of a common currency or citizenship is obvious, Bullivant said. He pointed out that the stand of the high representative's office was that, because of his present role, Karadzic must be physically removed from Pale and turned over to The Hague war crimes tribunal. Bullivant also assessed as unacceptable the attitude of Bosnian Serb representative Momcilo Krajisnik, who for the past three weeks failed to turn up at meetings of the BH Presidency in Sarajevo.
