NEWLY-ELECTED BOSNIAN PRESIDENCY TO MEET EARLY NEXT WEEK

SARAJEVO, Sept 28 (Hina) - The recently-elected Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina is expected to hold its first meeting early next week, a spokesman for the international community's High Representative said in Sarajevo on Saturday. The exact place and date of the meeting have not yet been determined, but this is expected to be agreed upon over the weekend, spokesman Colum Murphy told a news conference. The Office of High Representative Carl Bidlt is only supervising preparations for this meeting and its convocation is a matter of agreement between the three members of the Presidency, Murhphy said. We assume that they are in permanent contact and hope that the meeting will be held early next week, he added. Murphy announced that the Standing Committee supervising the implementation of the peace agreement would meet next Wednesday. The Serb side has rejected the building of the wartime Bosnian Presideny as a venue of the meeting. Momcilo Krajisnik, Serb member of the newly-elected Presidency, has said several times that he would feel unsafe there. Spokespersons for Bildt's office have said that several locations are being considered, and the most frequently mentioned was "Konak", the official residency of the Bosnian Presidency in the old part of Sarajevo.
