MOSTAR, 23 Aug (Hina) - The head of Western European police in
Mostar, Pieter Lambrechtse, on Friday presented a plan of the
transfer of authority from Western European police to the future
joint police force as well as a plan of the organisation of the
Neretva Canton police. #L#
The Neretva Canton would have 1,270 police officers and 380 of
them would be in Mostar, Lambrechtse said. Explaining the criteria
according to which future police officers would be chosen,
Lambrechtse said that the first thing to be established was whether
the candidates had a police academy diploma.
Candidates who had a criminal record or a criminal record with
the Hague International Tribunal for War Crimes would not be
accepted.
Candidates who were charged with human rights violation and
those who proved unacceptable by the international police and
Western European police, would be turned down.
After those preliminary procedures, lists would be made for
policemen in the street and police administrators. The whole
procedure would last three to four weeks, Lambrechtse said, adding
he would hand over his office to the newly-appointed local police
superintendent in the first half of October.
Western European police should end its mandate in Mostar by 1
November.
The composition of the police force in the Neretva Canton
would reflect the ethnic composition of the Neretva Canton,
Lambrechtse said.
