GREGORIAN: DODIK AND SILAJDZIC ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT POLICE REGIONS SHOULD NOT CROSS ENTITY LINES "Oslobodjenje" September 14, 2007 Sarajevo, Banja Luka: The Deputy of the international representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Raffi Gregorian asserts that Prime Minister of the Republic of the Serbs (RS) and leader of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) Milorad Dodik, and the Bosniak member of the Presidency of BiH and president of the Party for BiH (SBiH) Haris Silajdzic, came to full agreement that police regions should not cross entity lines. "During negotiations, high level political leaders, including Silajdzic, on numerous occasions rejected the idea that police regions cross the entity line. An example of that is in the city of Sarajevo. Therefore, if that idea is not good for Sarajevo, where is it good for?" - asked Gregorian. He believes that the Serbs and the Bosniaks want to use their own proposals on police reform in BiH to distract from the proposal that was offered by the international representative in BiH Miroslav Lajcak. "Now, when the international representative in BiH presents a document with which he seeks to help them reach an agreement, the Serbs put forth a law about police structures, and SBiH wants to put the report of the Directions for Police Reform before the Council of Ministers of BiH. That is not by chance. If those are good ideas, why did they not present them six months ago" - stated Gregorian for today's "Oslobodjenje". ──────────── 2. OUR GRATITUDE TO GREGORIAN FOR THIS NOBLE DEED TOWARD BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA By: Dr. Muhamed Borogovac Countless mediators have passed through BiH since the war began in 1992. All of them attended numerous negotiations in which ostensible Bosniak representatives joined their Serb counterparts in working for the Serb nationalist cause, as soon as they felt they were not in public view. Some of the international mediators revealed this to their superiors, e.g. Warren Cristopher, when he explained in a U.S. Senate hearing that "Bosnians also want to divide the country", meaning Bosnian negotiators at that time Izetbegovic and Silajdzic. Some have revealed it to the western media, or in books published afterward, e.g. Lord Owen, and Holbrook also, if only between the lines. Sadly, none of the "mediators" has revealed that fact to the Bosnian media. The statement by Gregorian above finally reveals to us, in the most direct manner possible, that the leading "Bosniak" negotiator, Presidency member Silajdzic, represents Serb interests when he is not in public view. The only way that Europe and the world can help Bosnia and Herzegovina, is to help us break the Serb ultra-nationalist conspiracy in BiH through which agents of UDBA (intelligence agency of former Yugoslavia controlled by Serbs) have been installed as Bosniak leaders. We hope that this revelation by Gregorian represents a change of course by Europe, away from the policy of not interfering with the continuing deception of the people in BiH about the conduct of their leaders. On the other hand, if such a policy is still in effect, and if Gregorian's statement is only a slip-up made by a frustrated individual, then the veil of secrecy will again descend on the political process in BiH, and any benefit gained will be quickly lost, because there will still be no way for Bosniaks ever to put authentic representatives in power, and all reforms will fail. It is Europe's decision whether it will play according to the rules set by the Serbs and their Bosniak puppets, or expose them to the people that they claim to represent. That is why we are grateful to Mr. Gregorian, who revealed to the public in Bosnia and Herzegovina that Haris Silajdzic rejected many times the idea that police regions cross the entity line, and that Silajdzic is in cahoots with Dodik. This statement is the clearest available public contradiction of Silajdzic's boasts of his patriotic fight to put the "genocidal RS police" out of existence, because it affirms that in negotiations, where it really counts, and where Bosniaks cannot see or hear him, Haris Silajdzic is in line with the Serbs. One notable time of Silajdzic's statements against the "genocidal police of the RS" was when the people of Srebrenica saw support in the genocide verdict at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for their initiative to remove Srebrenica from the rule of the RS, which was judged guilty of committing the genocide. With such patriotic statements he sought to gain the confidence of the people of Srebrenica, and to convince them to withdraw their request and to entrust him with fighting for their rights instead. Now, when police reform is actually debated, he works with Dodik to save that same "genocidal police" -- against Europe, which is applying pressure to integrate the police in BiH. By now it is clear why Silajdzic and Tihic rejected Mr. Lajcak's police reform proposal, but accepted it as a basis for further negotiations. Mr. Lajcak's proposal contains in it many points that are acceptable to RS, but those are a result of Silajdzic's past "cooperation" -- intentional giving in to Dodik. To the Bosnian public, Silajdzic and Tihic cite the fact that Mr. Lajcak's proposal "abandons the three principles in order to appease RS", in effect blaming Lajcak for writing down the points that Silajdzic himself has previously agreed to. In reality, the parts that Silajdzic and Tihic object to are that police regions cross the entity line in Sarajevo, and that Srebrenica itself should be a separate police region, both of which are good for the unity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and bad for RS. They accept the proposal only as a basis for further negotiations in which they will surely bargain away those final two points that RS finds unacceptable. The only reason why Silajdzic is able to publicly blame Mr. Lajcak for the "unfair" proposal is because of the great efforts exerted in order to keep the Bosnian public in the dark about the process. The public does not know that the proposal is a result of past talks in which Silajdzic accepted all of Dodik's offers, and only haggled over the minor change of the name of the RS police. Lajcak's proposal simply reflects a place that is closest to a compromise between the "two" negotiating sides, based on previous talks. Silajdzic can put the blame yet again on the "unfair and pro-Serb international community that dictates everything", because the people do not know what is really going on - at least until Mr. Gregorian's statement, which revealed his ploy.
