STILL NO CONSENSUS ON POLICE REFORM

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (January 29,2008) – The Bosnian Police Reform Work Group’s meeting lasted 12 hours on January 24, ending at midnight. However, no answers came out of it in connection to the responsibilities of main police bodies in the country.

According to a previous agreement of the six most influential political leaders in Bosnia, the police bodies should be formed as national.

The next meeting is expected in early February, but sources claim a consensus is not likely to happen even then. Two laws regulating the matter are supposed to be submitted to the Bosnian government by February 15.
