Online NewsHour: Co-Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic -- May 13, 1997 (1461 words)
HARIS SILAJDZIC: That's not true because the parties do not do it themselves and the party of the Serb Republic refused--refused to amend their constitution in order to be able to apprehend the war criminals.
HARIS SILAJDZIC: The truth is that we have heard that the U.S. government is determined to move the process on even more forcefully now.
HARIS SILAJDZIC: I do not think that the alternative is war.
1996/12/24 22:44 RETURN OF HARIS SILAJDZIC (1280 words)
Haris Silajdzic, after almost one year of absence, seems to be returning to the top of the pyramid of power in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Silajdzic is also reproached for declarations that those who are in B&H day-dreaming about Croatia and Serbia should go there, but that they cannot take a single lump of Bosnia when they do.
Silajdzic deserves much of the merit for the high rating of Bosnia and the Bosniacs in the world, especially in the first years of the war, when as a minister of foreign affairs he was openly accusing Serbia and Croatia for aggression.
