BOSNIAN CROAT AUTHORITIES SAY CANCEL ALL TIES WITH EU MISSION

MOSTAR, Feb 7 (Hina) - Angered by European Union Mostar administrator's decision about the future political organization of the divided city, local Bosnian Croat authorities Wednesday announced that as of today, they will cancel all ties with the EU mission. Following is the text of a statement read by western (Croat- held) Mostar Mayor Mijo Brajkovic, in response to the administrator Hans Koschnick's decision. "In flagrant violation of the Dayton agreement, the European Union administrator Mr Hans Koschnick created the seventh municipality in Mostar, namely the fourth Muslim district with the majority of Muslim population. "Giving in to the pressure by a part of the world community, anxious to settle the situation in Mostar in an unnatural manner and against the will of one whole people. Led by his own interests Mr Koschnick and the European Union have absolutely yielded to the pressures by the Muslim side, dissatisfied with the Dayton accords. "Denying and erasing all of the real and grounded proposals by the Croat side, by creating some central zone, Mr Koschnick and the European Union have absolutely taken a side. "The Mostar Municipal Council is of the view that the mission of the European administration has thus definitely ended, while administrator Koshnick has, by his decision, in fact divided the city in two. "The Municipal Council, with a support from political authorities and the people in Mostar, this way announces that all ties with the European Union are canceled," the statement said.
