MOSTAR, June 2 (Hina) - The international community's High
Representative to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Paddy Ashdown, has said that the Dayton
peace agreement has to be changed, but that this is not in his power to do and
has to be done by Bosnian state structures. Speaking in a state
radio broadcast on Thursday evening, Ashdown said that the next challenge for
Bosnia-Herzegovina was to amend the Dayton agreement to establish a functioning
state.
According to Ashdown, the Dayton agreement was good for stopping the
war in the country, but it is not good for building peace.
Although he only spoke in principle, this is Ashdown's most open
advocacy of changes to the Dayton agreement yet.
