SCHWARTZ-SCHILLING: LAJCAK IS DEALING WITH UNIMPORTANT ISSUES

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (March 29,2008) – The former International Community's High Representative in Bosnia and Miroslav Lajcak’s predecessor Christian Schwarz-Schilling gave an interview, in which he responded to accusations that he "slept through" his term as the High Representative.

Schwarz-Schilling now says this was his tactic for the purpose of demonstrating to the international community that its presence in Bosnia is still required, because the local authorities are not ready yet to take full responsibility for governing the country.

He also said how the matters that Lajcak is dealing with are mostly trifles, and that the international community has given up on some key reforms in Bosnia. The former High Representative visited the Bosnian capital Sarajevo to receive an award.
