SARAJEVO, 21 Nov (Hina)- The Croat member of the Bosnian Presidency
Kresimir Zubak on Friday asked the High Representative for the
implementation of the Dayton agreement, Carlos Westendorp, and his
deputies, Jacques Klein and Hans Schumacher, for their comment on
the situation in electronic media in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in
particular on the right of the Croat people to information in their
mother tongue.
In a letter sent to the highest representatives of the
international community in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Zubak recalled
that the intolerable situation in the electronic media had been
already brought to the attention of the international community
several times.
Although Bosnia-Herzegovina had adopted the European Charter on
Regional and Minority Languages, which guaranteed the right to
information in their mother tongue to all citizens of every state
signatory to the Charter, the Muslim-Bosniak authorities were
doing everything to prevent, hamper and prohibit the broadcasting
of the small number of local Croat TV stations, as well as of
Croatian Television programs, the letter said.
The aim is clear - to prevent Croats from receiving information in
their mother tongue as well as to prevent non-Croat viewers of HTV
programs from receiving highly compromising information about the
Muslim-Bosniak authorities, Zubak said.
Zubak also stressed the recent forcible prevention of broadcasting
of HTV programs in the areas of Tuzla and Zenica.
He requested the Office of the High Representative to finally take a
stand on this problem, asking whether the Office was able to secure
the implementation of the European Charter on Regional and Minority
Languages.
