NO CURRENT POLITICIAN HAS SUSAK'S CREDIBILITY & POWER - KLEIN

( Editorial: --> 2197 ) SARAJEVO, May 7 (Hina) - There is no politician at present who could replace Gojko Susak in the implementation of the international community's policy towards Bosnia, deputy international High Representative for Bosnia Jacques Klein told Sarajevo daily Oslobodjenje Thursday. There is at present no politician with Susak's credibility and power, Klein said in answer to the question whether there was in Bosnia-Herzegovina a politician akin to Susak, who would be open to dialogue. The deputy international High Representative pointed out that the officials he was in touch with from Bosnia's three peoples serve only their own interests without seeing the wider picture, unlike Susak, who had a vision. Susak always complied with reached agreements and had the power to keep that promise which, Klein said, could not be said of other politicians here. Bosnia needs a young leadership now, one not burdened with the communist past and the war, one aspiring to trade economy and progress, Klein said to Oslobodjenje daily. (hina) ha as 071357 MET may 98
