WASHINGTON, 23 June (Hina) - The leaders of the seven major
industrialised countries and Russia released a statement from their
summit meeting in Denver on June 22 reaffirming their determination to
speed up the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
The Eight called on all sides in Bosnia-Herzegovina to fulfil their
obligations under the Peace Agreement and stressed that the aim of the
international community is Bosnia-Herzegovina as a single democratic,
prosperous and multi-ethnic country.
'We are working to create conditions for a self-sustaining peace",
the Eight said, adding: " When the Parties meet the necessary
conditions, we are prepared to implement the full reconstruction program
and to support considerable debt reduction by the Paris Club."
Some elected officials are harmfully blocking key aspects of
economic reconstruction, delaying international assistance, the
statement said.
It also stressed the importance of the right of all displaced and
refugees in Bosnia-Herzegovina to return to their homes, as well as the
importance of developing democratic institutions and implementing all
aspects of the Peace Agreement in Brcko.
The Eight further stressed the importance of cooperation of both
Bosnian entities and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Croatia with
the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
"Full access to economic and other assistance, as well as
integration in regional and international institutions, is dependent on
compliance with these obligations," the statement said.
"We remain concerned that Croatia and the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, the regional signatories to the Peace Agreement, are not
demonstrating a stronger commitment to the peace process. They must also
make significantly greater progress to meet international standards of
human rights, democratic processes, media freedom and treatment of
minorities and refugees. Further progress towards integration in
European and international institutions will depend on improvements in
these areas", the statement said.
