SARAJEVO, Dec 4 (Hina) - The UN mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina and
the International Police Task Force (IPTF) command have clearly
asked that the 'Agency for Inquiry and Documentation' (AID) must be
reorganised and become a part of the (Croat-Moslem) Federation's
interior ministry, UN spokesman Alexander Ivanko said on
Thursday.
Moslem and Croat officials must reach agreement by themselves on
the way to replace the AID, but it must be a part of a re-organised
federal interior ministry and not an external organisation
directed by party's channels instead by the government, Ivanko
added.
The AID is in fact a secret service that is not under the control of
legal authorities, and international representatives maintain
that the (Moslem-led) Party of Democratic Action (SDA) controls
it.
The President of Bosnia-Herzegovina's collective presidency,
Aslija Izetbegovic, has recently said that he would not allow the
cancellation of the AID.
"We shall not be dispossessed of this service, which, after all,
controls who is coming into the city (Sarajevo), where people are
moving and who is doing what. It is necessary in the situation when
the borders are porous," Izetbegovic said in the end of last week in
Sarajevo.
The UN spokesman said that the IPTF had received many verbal
persuasions about the readiness to reorganise the interior
ministry and the AID, but little has been done in practice so far.
We are certainly expecting that the issue of the AID will be solved
through the establishment of the new federal interior ministry, but
this process has not began yet. What we have at the federal level are
the interior minister and his deputy. We are trying to speed it up,
but the truth is that we are always hitting the wall, Ivanko added.
