adopted today by representatives in the Assembly of the Republic of
Bosnia-Herzegovina. #L#
However, Premier Silajdzic warned that he was not satisfied
with decisions adopted at today's session of the Assembly, adding
those decisions weakened the chances for the survival of Bosnia-
Herzegovina as a whole state. Addressing the representatives at the
end of the Assembly session, which he could not attend because of
'numerous visits of foreign officials to Sarajevo', Silajdzic
condemned the adoption of the law according to which the future
central government should have five ministries. He said that six
ministries were the last compromise his cabinet had been ready to
accept, stressing it was the only way to preserve the strong
central authority which was necessary for the process of the
reintegration of the country.
'I will draw from this necessary conclusions and adequate
consequences', Silajdzic told representatives, criticizing them at
the same time for changing in the middle of the session a decision
they themselves had previously adopted.
