BOSNIAN PUBLIC CONCERNED ABOUT LAJCAK'S TRAGICOMIC STATEMENTS

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (March 4,2008) - "Whole public in Bosnia is a witness of a tragicomic statement of the International Community's High Representative Miroslav Lajcak that (the prime minister of the genocidal Serbian creature in Bosnia 'RS'), Milorad Dodik 'gave guarantees to the International Community of the peace and stability in Bosnia'(?). Such statement would cause laughter if it did not came from the man who has all the real power in this country which brings us to the position where we have to think and be worried over our future," stated the press release of the Bosnian Social Democratic Party (SDP).

"We do not have to remind the public that Lajcak’s guarantee of the “peace and stability” is the same Milorad Dodik who in the latest period is working only to destabilize the situation in Bosnia and is seriously threatening the peaceful existence of all citizens in this country. All war incensing paroles from RS are only gaining intensity such as tries to relate all the happenings in the region, especially Kosovo independence with situation in Bosnia," the SDP said .

"Instead of sanctioning this kind of behavior which works only against Bosnia, the Office of the International Community's High Representative in Bosnia (OHR) helplessly expresses its concern while serious threats for this country are being made, and they are authorized by international community to do something. That is why all Bosnian citizens should be worried by the silence and obvious inadmissible passiveness of the High Representative.

SDP once more invites Lajcak not to be only bystander of the occurrences in Bosnia and not to run from using Bonn powers every time when sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia as well as peace is threatened," stated the SDP.
