BiH DELEGATION TAKES PART IN CETINJE PARLIAMENTARY FORUM
SARAJEVO/CETINJE, September 13 (FENA) – Speaking
at the Cetinje Parliamentary Forum Deputy Chair of the BiH House of Peoples’
Commission for Foreign and Trade Policy Vinko Radovanovic said that the
strategic objective of BiH is to first join the Partnership for Peace and NATO
and then the EU.
Radovanovic
thinks that this task will be much easier if BiH establishes better bilateral
relations with countries from the region and becomes a part of integration
processes.
Participants
in this large gathering agreed on Monday that regional activities need to be
coordinated in order to rationalise and fulfil objectives of all regional
initiatives in the best possible way.
In
doing this the role of parliaments in foreign affairs activities needs to be
strengthened.
Participants
agreed that Southeast European countries that have joined the EU and NATO
should in the spirit of good neighbourly relations help the strengthening of
stability in the region and ensure that the problem of Kosovo is resolved
entirely in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
The
Cetinje Parliamentary Forum continues on Tuesday with a meeting of delegations
of Adriatic-Ionic Initiative member states.

SPIRIC:
CAVIC HAS A TASK TO "SUBDUE" BANJA
LUKA
BANJA
LUKA, September 13 (FENA) - Alliance of Independent Social-Democrats (SNSD) Main
and Executive Board member Nikola Spiric accused the Serb Democratic Party
(SDS) Monday of trying to radicalise the situation in Banja Luka.
Spiric
told a press conference that SDS Acting President Dragan Cavic was tasked by
the “renegade wing of the SDS and criminals” to “subdue” Banja Luka
He
said that Ljubisa Kragulj, a candidate for the Banja Luka Mayor, supported by
SDS and seven other parties, was deliberately used because everyone knows that
he cannot win, but SDS and other parties will get votes for councillors in the
Banja Luka City Council.
Spiric
accused Cavic of using the office of the RS President for running the election
campaign and failing to explain to RS citizens why they live so bad and why they
have no salaries and pensions.
He
said that Cavic should also explain how is it possible that five post offices
are robbed in a single day and are these funds now being used to finance the
SDS after it lost its funding.

CAVIC
PROTECTS PERSONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY
BANJA
LUKA, September 13 (FENA) – RS President and SDS Acting President Dragan Cavic
has the responsibility to lead the election campaign of his party and in that
capacity he will respond to all “lies and insults” by SNSD President Milorad
Dodik, the RS President’s Cabinet stated on Monday.
Following
a series of allegations made by Dodik at a press conference on September 11 and
several statements at pre-election debates on September 12 Cavic has responded
with arguments to these allegations protecting his personal and institutional
integrity.
“The
RS President cannot and does not wish to remove anyone from the political scene
and has not been calling for the opposition to be lynched. If Dodik or anyone
else thinks that they will be able to throw dirt at the RS President and expect
him not to defend himself because of the office he holds they should think
again because the RS President is determined to protect his integrity”, the RS
President’s Cabinet stated.
