JOSPEH TALKS ABOUT SITUATION IN JAJCE WITH PREFECT SARIC

TRAVNIK, Aug 4 (Hina) - The head of the Mostar Regional Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Edward Joseph, on Monday held talks in Travnik with the prefect of the Central Bosnia Canton, Ivan Saric, and deputy prefect Adnan Terzic. The talks focused on the serious situation in Jajce after an unorganized mass return of Bosniaks and relative incidents. OSCE would do everything so that dialogue in Jajce could continue, Joseph told reporters, adding that prior to that they would put an ultimatum that law and order be reinstated in the area, and conditions provided for the continuation of the people's return to their houses. Deeply regretting the death of a Bosniak and all the incidents which took place in Jajce over the weekend, the prefect of the Central Bosnia Canton Saric warned that UNHCR, as the organizer, had neither notified the cantonal authorities nor consulted about the Bosniaks' return to Jajce with the cantonal ministries for refugees and the interior. This created circumstances in which unwanted incidents could occur, Saric stressed. "Also contributing to all this is the situation in which the Bosniak side in the canton obstructs the introduction of a joint police and the establishment of a cantonal juridical system", Saric said. "Yet I believe that with joint efforts we will stop such tragedies and (enable) everyone to return (to their homes), but in an organized and safe way", he added, and announced the Croat side in the Central Bosnia Canton would soon propose an initiative called "Open Canton". Deputy prefect Terzic said the incident in Jajce helped opponents to the BH Federation. Asked if revenge seeking on the Bosniaks' part on Bosniak-controlled territory was possible, Terzic said "Revenge seeking is possible. But we have done everything to prevent it."
