The editor of Sarajevo weekly B-H Dani describes how the delegates to a recent PIC meeting were swayed by a speech (see below) from B-H presidency member Haris Silajdžic on the future of Bosnia's state assets - strongly supported by the Turkish delegate and to the discomfiture of the Russian representative present.
After the RS prime minister Milorad Dodik, with his aggressive behaviour over the past few months, had ended all plans to close down the Office of the High Representative (OHR), it was widely expected that the meeting of the PIC Steering Board - the highest international body charged with implementing the Dayton Peace Agreement, signed at the end of the 1992-95 Bosnian War - to be held in Sarajevo on 29 and 30 June 2009 would make a seminal decision regarding the future of the state assets."
