SILAJDZIC PROPOSES INTERNATIONAL CONTROL OF FEDERATION

SARAJEVO, Nov 3 (Hina) - Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic officially proposed forming a special commission to control the implementation of the Federation's Constitution and assist the Croat and Bosniac sides in solving open issues. Silajdzic made that proposal yesterday during talks with the Turkish Ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina. He said that besides Turkish ambassador Tufan, the Commission should include US and German ambassadors in Sarajevo. Silajdzic today told the Sarajevo daily Oslobodjenje that the establishment of the Federation was a very complicated process. The Bosnian Government wanted the process to develop at a faster pace which was why ambassadors representing the USA, Germany and Turkey were asked to participate in the process and offer their 'good favours'. "We're not going to ask them to judge, but to contribute to the more efficient realization of the Federal project," Silajdzic said. Oslobodjenje also ran a statement by US Ambassador Victor Jakovich saying that the USA welcomed every step towards strengthening the Federation. German Ambassador Johannes Praisinger described the proposal as 'completely logical'. While Ambassador Tufan said he was sure that his Government would support the proposal.
