NO AGREEMENT ON RESPONSIBILITIES OF BOSNIAN STATE POLICE BODIES

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (February 11,2008) - The Bosnian police reform task force has not managed to reach a consensus on laws about establishing seven new police bodies on the national level. Their key disagreement is over the authorities of these future bodies.

Some members of the task force insisted that the seven be given power over all the other police bodies in Bosnia. It seems that the responsibilities of a police coordination office are the most disputed. The group have therefore left a decision on this to the Bosnian central government.

These laws should be adopted by February 15, as they are a condition for signing the Stabilisation and Association Agreement betwen Bosnia and the European Union.
