NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST PARTIES IN BH NOT TO BE IMPOSED FOR NOW

SARAJEVO, Aug 5 (Hina) - New sanctions to parties in Bosnia- Herzegovina will for the time being not be imposed, even though a new deadline for the passing of laws on citizenship and passports expired yesterday. Spokesman for the office of international high representative for the implementation of the peace accord in BH, Simon Haselock, on Tuesday told reporters in Sarajevo he was satisfied that all members of the Bosnian Council of Ministers had decided to continue discussions until a solution to the laws' disputed provisions was found. There were indications, Haselock said, that a final solution to the appointment of BH ambassadors in the world could also be reached by the end of this week, most probably at a Tuesday session of the BH Presidency. U.S. mediator Richard Holbrooke is expected to attend the session. (hina) ha jn 051550 MET aug 97
