LAJCAK EXPECTS TALKS ON BOSNIAN POLICE REFORM TO CONTINUE

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (February 12,2008) – The International Community's High Representative in Bosnia Miroslav Lajcak expects from the six most influential political parties in Bosnia to continue with the talks on the police reform according to obligations they took by signing the Mostar Declaration as well as on what was agreed in Sarajevo, stated the Office of the International Community's High Representative in Bosnia (OHR) Spokesperson Oleg Milisic.

Reminding that this process is fully supported by the EU, the OHR underlines that only concrete results achieved by the end of February will enable Bosnia to sing the SAA with EU.

Police Reform Work Group during the last week finalized its activities without consensus on the draft laws of new police bodies forming.

Work Group decided to send a report to the Bosnian Council of Ministers in which it will be stated that police experts did not manage to achieve consensus on the draft laws.
