Schuessel stressed Austria's interest in the respect for
human rights and protection of national minorities and ethnic

Bildt said that he considered one of his main tasks to be
"the establishment of an atmosphere in which people would trust
that all their rights will be respected no matter where they
decide to live". He added that he would establish a Human Rights
Coordination Centre (HRCC) in his office in Sarajevo.
Prlic described the respect for human rights as a priority,
stressing that the Bosnian Government was ready to cooperate with
the Hague Tribunal.
