SARAJEVO AS HOST OF OLYMPIC GAMES

( Editorial: --> 4693 ) SARAJEVO, Nov 29 (Hina) - Co-chairman of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Council of Ministers, Haris Silajdzic, said on Saturday that Sarajevo could run a candidate for the organisation of Winter Olympics Games. "It is an idea given to me by Croatian Prime Minister Zlatko Matesa. I liked it a lot," Silajdzic told a news conference after a summit of CEI member-countries in Sarajevo. "I hope we will receive support from all countries in the organisation of the Winter Olympics, because this would be the right award for Sarajevo to maintain a minimum of our civilisation and European and human values under the worst possible circumstances," he said. Sarajevo was the host of the 14th Winter Olympics in 1884. Is has not been mentioned as a possible candidate for the organisation of new games. Most of the infrastructure and stadiums built for that purpose were destroyed during four years of conflicts. (hina) lm 291920 MET nov 97
