BOSNIAN PRESIDENCY MEMBER HARIS SILAJDZIC CRITICIZES RECENT STATEMENTS ON POLICE REFORM MADE BY SDA PRESIDENT SULEJMAN TIHIC

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (October 12, 2007) – A member of the Bosnian Presidency and the SBiH Party President Haris Silajdzic said that statements on police reform and other random issues by Party of Democratic Action (SDA) President Sulejman Tihic show that he has lost his bearings concerning key issues in Bosnia.

A statement issued by Silajdzic’s Cabinet claims that Tihic has with constant change of position and parallel actions accepted to the cementing of entity police forces.

“This is exactly why I signed the Protocol, which can allow the SAA without closing any options concerning the constitutional structure of Bosnia. Tihic’s attempts to justify his position by questioning the qualifications of my advisors are unfounded, absurd and impolite. It is unclear what gives him the right to describe my advisor as ‘inexperienced’ lawyer”, Silajdzic said.

"This attack is even more absurd considering the fact that my advisor Damir Arnaut has the title of a Doctor of Law from the Berkley University, one of the most prestigious universities in the world," Silajdzic added.

“Furthermore, Tihic has been giving lectures in patriotism lately, yet he forgets that during the aggression against Bosnia he did not use his abilities as a lawyer in Bosnia, but decided to work abroad”, Silajdzic said.
