EU ADMINISTRATION INNOCENT OF FINANCIAL SHENANIGANS - METSCHER

ZAGREB, Apr 19 (Hina) - Deputy EU Administrator of Mostar, Klaus Metscher, today dismissed the accusations of corruption, embezzlement and other financial shenanigans in the European Union Administration, levelled by some world media. "EU auditors found a few mistakes in our books - it seems that some expenditures are not sufficiently documented," Metscher told a press conference. At the beginning, the Administration had to operate with cash because there were no banks, he explained. He announced that the new Administrator, Ricardo Peres Casado would arrive on Sunday and would take up office on Monday morning. Polling commissions were expected to decide next week whether elections could be staged in May, Metscher said. (hina) jn 191851 MET apr 96
