TUZLA, 23 Aug (Hina) - The High Representative in Bosnia-
Herzegovina Carlos Westendorp visited Tuzla, northern Bosnia, on
Saturday and held separate talks with Tuzla-Podrinje Canton
Prefect Sead Jamakosmanovic and Tuzla mayor Selim Beslagic. #L#
The talks focused on the current situation in the canton,
problems and ways to solve them. After the talks, Westendorp said
that although it was one of the best developed cantons in the
Federation, Tuzla Canton still needed international help.
The talks also tackled the implementation of the Sintra
decisions.
If the Sintra deadlines are not respected, I will have to
propose that sanctions be considered, but they will not refer to
the Federation since it is abiding by the agreement. The problem
is in some segments of Republika Srpska authorities which do not
want to cooperate. I will try and find such sanctions which would
punish the authorities and not the people of Republika Srpska,
Westendorp said.
