Extractions: Yugoslavia took shape around a Serbian core during a series of wars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as the Ottoman Turkish Empire gradually lost control of its Balkan territories. In 1917, the Pact of Corfu proclaimed that all Yugoslavs (meaning southern Slavs) would unite after World War I to form a kingdom under the Serbian Royal House The nation was occupied by Germany during World War II. Two guerrilla armies the Chetniks under Draza Mihajlovic supporting the monarchy and the Partisans under Marshal Tito leaning toward the U.S.S.R. fought the Nazis for the duration of the war. At the end of World War II, the monarchy was abolished and Communist Party leader Tito proclaimed the country the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, with himself as prime minister. Eliminating opposition, the Tito government executed Mihajlovic in 1946. Tito died in 1980, and the fragility of the federation he ruled quickly became apparent. Three ethnic groups fell into conflict: Serbs dominant in Yugoslavia's politics and army, living mainly in Serbia and Montenegro but with large minorities in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Orthodox Christianity makes them natural allies of Russia.

Several international officials were trapped in the Islamic community centre after up to 2,000 protestors ran amok during a ceremony held on Monday to mark the restoration of a mosque destroyed in Bosnia's 1992-95 ethnic war. The hostages included Jacques Klein, United Nations mission head, Werner Blatter, who heads the U.N. refugee agency in Bosnia and British, Swedish and Pakistani ambassadors. Jacques Klein told Reuters: "This is a sad day for the Serb republic. What is the bravery of Serb men...to stone old Muslim women?" The applause that greeted Klein's arrival provoked a furious outburst from the crowd of Serb protestors, who stormed a police cordon to attack Muslims across the road with tear gas grenades, stones and eggs.

Revista de la Asociación para las Naciones Unidas en España (ANUE) Diciembre de 2000. Núm 21. El pasado 11 de noviembre se celebraron elecciones generales en Bosnia-Herzergovina, las terceras cinco años después de los acuerdos de Dayton, que significaron el fin de la guerra y el inicio de reconstrucción del país bajo el protectorado internacional. La estructura actual de Bosnia-Herzergovina es compleja, en un intento de equilibrar sentimientos nacionales muy fuertes y la supervivencia de un estado supuestamente multi-étnico. Se trata de un estado formado por dos entidades diferentes y autónomas. Por un lado la República Srpska, en el norte y este del país, de población serbia; y por el otro la Federación croato-musulmana de Bosnia-Herzergovina, de población mixta croata y musulmana, situada en el centro y sur del país. Cada una de las dos entidades tiene su parlamento y presidencia del gobierno. A nivel estatal, hay un parlamento federal y presidencia común. A parte, todo el país está dividido en cantones, al estilo suizo pero con menos competencias. En estas últimas elecciones se elegían el Parlamento Federal y el de cada entidad, así como la Presidencia de la República Srpska. También se celebraban las elecciones cantonales en la Federación croato-musulmana.

Extractions: Public Sector Audit is a new activity in FBiH, aiming to increase transparency and responsibility in public funds spending. The Office of Budget Audit of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was founded on the basis of the Law on Budget Audit in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was introduced in December 1999. The Law was passed by the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its text was made pursuant to Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) Law model of the developed countries in the European Union. Under the Audit Law Provisions, the Federal Audit Office autonomous and independent institution in accordance with the principles of the Lima Declaration brought on IX Congress of the INTOSAI in Lima in 1977, which stands for the fundamental international act on legal organisation, status and conduct of public sector auditing.

CHEMICAL WARFARE IN BOSNIA? Human Rights Watch reports the results of a 2year investigation of allegations that a chemical agent was used in Srebrenica in July 1995. http://www.hrw.org/hrw/reports98/bosniacw/index.html
Extractions: I. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Fall of the Srebrenica Safe Area Research Rationale and Methodology ... Human Rights Watch: Mission Statement In the summer of 1995, shortly after the fall of the United Nations safe area of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Hercegovina, survivors emerged from a long trek to safety with tales suggesting that Serb forces had attacked them during their flight with some type of chemical incapacitating agent. The presence of chemical weapons in the former Yugoslavia has not been a secret but allegations of actual use have been viewed with a healthy measure of skepticism. Difficult to verify, reports of chemical-weapon use have proliferated more than even the weapons themselvesin the former Yugoslavia as much as in other conflict zones around the world. But the unique character and consistency of some of the testimonies, matched with the certain knowledge that the army of the former Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Peoples Army (Jugoslavenska Narodna Armija, JNA), possessed an incapacitating agent named BZ and had developed doctrine and a capacity for its use, gave an initial credibility to the allegations. In 1996, Human Rights Watch carried out an investigation of the claim that Serb forces used JNA-supplied BZ against the people fleeing Srebrenica the year before. Following interviews with some thirty-five survivors, as well as U.N. and other international personnel in the former Yugoslavia, and a review of available documentation relating to events at Srebrenica in 1996-97, Human Rights Watch has found the evidence inconclusive on whether a chemical agent was used. The evidence, while suggestive of the use of a BZ-like compound, is incomplete. Hard evidencein the form, for example, of chemical traces in the clothes of people who died during the march and whose bodies were exhumed subsequentlyhas remained elusive.

"More time is needed," British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock said, adding discussions on the issues would resume next week. U.S. diplomats had been working feverishly ahead of a midnight deadline to gain immunity from prosecution for U.S. peacekeepers overseas by the new International Criminal Court. The United States last Sunday vetoed a six-month U.N. Security Council extension of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Bosnia, but shortly afterward agreed to a 72-hour extension so a compromise could be worked out.

Extractions: Dear friends, Cruel realities of war have prevented us from being together today and in the next days. For 40 months the war has been ravaging our homeland. Both adults and children have been killed every day. 16,814 children have been killed and 34,555 wounded in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and many of them remain maimed for life. The number of orphaned children has also grown enormously. Among them are many of our members. Schools and libraries in Bosnia and Herzegovina were burnt; there are no more parks for children to play in; our favourite excursion sites are now strewn with mines and unexploded shells. Many have not even their homes, which were burnt together with their toys and their memories. In the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina many Scout centres were devastated, equipment destroyed, Scouting symbols going back for more than half a century demolished. But we did not lose heart. Wherever we could, we helped our peers, but also our elders. In the gloom of cold shelters we are still playing Scout games and learning Scout skills. We had an earnest desire to show these skills at the Jamboree, to play and make friends. Scout ranks in Bosnia and Herzegovina include the young people of all nations; Croats, Muslims and Serbs. We hate no-one on account of his or her ethnic origins. What matters is that he or she is not evil. We have not violated the Scout principles laid down by our Movement's Founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. But these and all other principles of civilised life have been trampled by the evil which is tearing down our country.
