1:32 am
show is. a lot of the top manage to bring peace and stability to war torn. up fifteen years ago the day ended the bloody war in this part of the former yugoslavia but peace to still fragile and separate the sentiment in the country is still strong how are they going to move for the peace process to. make us that abstract that. you enjoy because beautiful brown of his country's politics since the very beginning he served as mayor of his hometown in the mean eighty's when bosnia and herzegovina was two part of the former yugoslavia and after the public acclaim independence he founded and headed the opposition movement in the republican search scud missile mckay's the right of his republican be independent wide support among his people. and
1:33 am
thank you very much for being with us. the political representatives of the three peoples. have failed to to to to reach an agreement to form the the bus near a council of ministers right so is it a political crisis and what's going to happen next. and herzegovina systemic problems. it was formed as a result of that is integration of the former yugoslavia based on the lead in agreements which was designed to settle the relations between the three ethnic communities that formed the republic and in this respect post in here to go into has apparently been facing a crisis we're living under partial international protectorate of the world community and because of that we've held dozens of elections which were considered to be free and fair by the organization for security and cooperation in europe today this issue ation in those near and dear to governor is characterized by
1:34 am
a very huge presence of international representatives who are trying to rule and influence the internal processes in the republic because of the fact that certain political party won the election has been impossible to reach an agreement on how to form the bodies of power of different nations of the council of ministers has become the main problem for both me and herzegovina the council of ministers is now the government of hosni and her to governor is an elected body it consists of representatives of major national anything groups who are supposed to proceed policy in finding a compromise become position of the council of ministers is an issue that will not be solved for a long time you say that the office of the high representative and also other international representatives as you put it should stay out of the thoughts on the council of ministers was the role constructive so far. until recently the high representative the interference in both me and her to go in as domestic issues
1:35 am
has not been absolutely successful any problems have remained open because of this interference which he massively did in the past it was in bring expected results perhaps the international forces themselves have now come to understand that this kind of interference doesn't lead to solution of problems or contributes to a stabilization of the situation that is why this practice should be given up. that's why we're simply trying to show one of the other principals that both he and her to governor could be built upon this has resulted in the fact that the process of forming a governing bodies is connected independently of its own election take place yes of course but i don't think it will ever come to this because there's no agreements even in snap or early elections for how we'll bust and hence the war there will be ruled by a foreigner which is the high representative with dictator of powers through. i should say this involvement is decreasing the best three years have shown that it's
1:36 am
not producing any results the main thing no is to decide how one mission which was initially successful and establishing in stabilizing the situation could eventually end its mandate in recent years and had to govern or as you can lay the problem of correlation of powers between the high representative and the local authorities he appointed the government in the federation in the other part of the country bypassing the parliament moreover he views his powers in the mandate by massively imposing more than two hundred laws he had no rights north or easy to do that there was not any u.n. security council resolution to that effect or the so-called authorization from bonn that would have allowed him to act this way impose those laws and even went as far as to change the constitution and. all these actions have resulted in the lack of confidence in the high representative today he's only supported by muslim both and political leaders while the buzzing codes and the bosun serbs are absolutely sure
1:37 am
that his mandate should end as soon as possible the decision and that should be made by the peace implementation council which is supposed to implement the dayton peace agreement today it is also a user of summerize to decide on certain issues so i believe the mandate of the high representative in both me and her to governor is going to end very soon i you . happy with the current constitution. it's a government that was worth a designed. and is a workable it out of it's clear that we accepted that constitution but we accepted what's written in the meeting agreement but not with some try to interpret it as the letter and spirit of the tin and therefore try to impose it on us by the military decisions of the high representative the dayton agreement is something that is acceptable for the serbs and the republic of serbska in goes near the provisions of the dayton agreements have been changed and altered many times international representatives have stubbornly changed the basic provisions of that
1:38 am
agreement they have changed the political system introduced new institutions and have given powers to those new and herzegovina which it wasn't supposed to have under the dayton he meant and this is creating a problem quite easily it should be said that the serb republic in bo's near established itself as a tutorial subject of those near and dear to govern and it was founded in one thousand nine hundred two as a result of the disintegration of the former yugoslavia undoubtedly those new and herzegovina represents a counter process that was going in the territory of the former yugoslavia in those years all the republics of the former yugoslavia were formed in a way that homogeneous nations who lived there got their own states and like them both me and her to govern or had to follow the path of the former yugoslavia it consisted of three constituent ethnic communities and none of them had the majority because of that posy and herzegovina will continue having problems with regard to international relations it's a deeply divided country the only way it can continue to exist is to find and
1:39 am
preserve the balance established by the detainee agreements compliance with its provisions they didn't even and is an international treaty respect international agreements but we don't welcome any changes there me to them in a violation of established procedures are you considering a constitutional there is a ship that will be devolving power to regions in need. one ethnic group will be dominant the intention to change the constitution was caused by the need to create a political system in which posing muslims would dominate and influence decision making and of course this question is no longer on the agenda and is not a subject for discussion the question is the future of the region egremont itself simply people are calling it into question others say that both me and here's a governor would be unable to survive without it at all we are against handing over more powers to post and her to god that you that will put this are republican they
1:40 am
both in service and it was in quotes and the minorities at a disadvantage we believe that the principle of equality of all ethnic communities should be observed and protected and the political life in both me and herzegovina should develop in this vein if you will be considering a real constitution before and we need a permission from the great powers dominating the country now i mean the e.u. and the united states will they allow such a constitutional reform. until recently all the attempts to change the constitution have been initiated by the americans and the europeans they have been to a known poses is known as the april and the good new processes we should end it with the results their leaders demonstrated in an constructive approach to finding the solutions they expected to achieve other conditions were unclear and concerned in what way we should continue our development what representatives of this a republican voting yes said was that they were ready to discuss confusion and
1:41 am
changes but couldn't accept the leading role of foreigners in that process it means that neither america new europe connect as moderators of the contribution of the reform because this prose is is an internal affair of posner and here's a governor and can only be conducted by the three constituent if newsgroups are leading it. only this kind of process can religionists and we're not ready complicity in processes which are so to speak orchestrated by outsiders really a british group in today if we're representative of the european commission i think there's been made clear by now no one in both me and here's a governor is trying to take this kind of leadership anymore and in this context we'll continue our attempts to search for certain solutions we're not ready to welcome any cardinal amendments to the constitution we want to preserve our autonomy and their rights to consider both me and here's a governor to be a divided country in which an attorney has more rights than those near and dear to
1:42 am
governor and we cannot accept any other both me and her to govern our except this one of them a little bit with a little know what a lot of. catherine ashton has reassured the bosnian serbs that the e.u. were examined the complaints. own abuses of justice and you have said having an exchange you counseled the referendum on the status of serbs in bosnia and herzegovina how does the u.a.e. you fulfilled its obligations. but it's eerie important that catherine ashton reacted to the situation was serious we had been dissatisfied with their position in bosnia and herzegovina for a long time we're here because we must stay here and not because who wants here anyway we're not ready to accept any way lesions of the international peace agreements were those nia also known as the dayton agreements and if you live just as the rules over teaming power and handing it over to me and herzegovina have changed greatly that was achieved by the hybrid presented if one locally impose the
1:43 am
decisions i think that europe has realized that we are determined to fight to the bitter end to eliminate this inconsistency including every friend i'm on the status of this republic in both me and her to govern our that's why lady who has a realistic approach understood our reservations during her stay in by you look at this process is developing it has its dynamics and it's not going to be a quick process but in any case today i have every reason to be satisfied with what the european structures are doing but i hope that in the next round of the negotiations scheduled for november we're definitely going to charge the initial a framework for a solution of it says miller rats exotic president look at steps spotlight will be back shortly right after right south stay with us didn't. i am.
1:44 am
in russia would be so much brighter if you knew about the song from feinstein question. these phones totty don't come. down to the official anti allocation queue on phone only called touch from the queue saps to. watch all she lights on the. video on demand keys money fuel costs and already says feed now in the palm of your . machine on the.
1:45 am
discovery. communicate with you want to. test yourself and become free. to. see what nature can give you. welcome back the spotlight on al gore than just a reminder that my guest on the show today is neil warnock the arctic president often in public i sense despite the disintegration of former yugoslavia the state of the situation is still very fragile in the region do you think that the process
1:46 am
may continue for example could that it's going to set up scott someday think of seceding from this was the climate is there such a possibility. their political developments in those near her to govern are are not something in case in concrete everything depends on how they're going to develop at the regional level and on a broader scale. republican service camp has its own government institutions its own territory and its own people in other words it definitely has all the elements to become a state there's no doubt about that the only thing it still lacks is international recognition republican serbska is not a member of the united nations is represented there as part of those near her to govern out the process is taking place in both me and her to govern our show that the country is becoming increasingly divided and this division is becoming more apparent. it's not just a matter of territorial division the biggest problem is cultural division division
1:47 am
in the way of living and producing things and in all other aspects of life and that creates a certain political situation that's going to influence new solutions in the future it's absolutely clear that goes in muslims are less enthusiastic about both me and her to governor than the used to be in the past this can be seen in the way the council of ministers is being formed first and foremost they're interested in the composition of power which they can control and which they don't want to share with others and this is creating a new atmosphere they can really result in a possibility of both me and her to govern i may choose a different way of developments in the years and decades to come as for republican serbska if you continue strengthening its statehood capacities. i have been the head of the guard in a couple of years ago and then people were saying that if they had to go over the joins the e.u. this will improve the relations between the three communities do you believe that
1:48 am
this is still true. there is an initial agreements about that but when it comes to fulfilling the various details of the conditions imposed by the european union all the differences come to light previously. attempts were needs to bring the e.u. membership issue into the focus i believe that europe demands for changing the political system of the past the principle of europe which wants to do with me in or to govern or as an interview units doesn't mean and you consideration of power in new functions by those near and herzegovina at this stage this plan can be acceptable for us europe itself is facing great challenges it's clear that you are as concerned with the economic situation in certain countries that will be followed by certain economic and political pressure. the enthusiasm about the membership which the people in both me and her to govern used to share as if in the gone down by now the people involved in her to govern i am a cautious about europe which they previously used to see as an ideal place today
1:49 am
it's become clear that europe has many political social and economic problems of its own and its becoming and capable of solving them. you recently said mr president i quote serbia cannot reclaim and arrange a great cost of that is an illusion cost of a has been snatched by the powerful and the arab lands and quote what was in the e.u. one of those powerful and arrogant. yes i think the e.u. did demonstrate a certain degree of arrogance and in this question with regard to the serbs in dealing with kosovo they used force to separate kosovo from serbia and violated its territorial integrity this many position of force continues to the present day this approach which was initially supported by former us president bill clinton they mere going to ministration and some european countries let the situation in which serbia found itself defeated and humiliated serbia and part of its population who formed the opposite side of that success story i generally considered to be bad
1:50 am
guys in the balkans who deserve only to be punished thus i clearly said the cause of a was taken away from serbia by arrogance and power who powers and serbia and the serbian people. should realize that they should also understand that we would be unable to reintegrate kosovo i live in you three force or by any other means this is something the serbs should definitely understand but will assume should also bear in mind is that the should never recognize kosovo. who will always remain in the focus of our political interest not for the purpose of having constant political tensions in that territory but simply for giving an answer to the buy it stance of the west we separated from serbia in such a manner the serbs in kosovo need help should receive regular financial support from serbia syria should also support all those who say to leave kosovo and move to live in serbia and help them settle down there instead of having all these illusions that we can do something which in fact should never happen with regard to
1:51 am
recognizing kosar was independence we should never recognize kosovo what's your impression what do you think the serbs in kosovo should do if serbia backs away if it if it abandons its year is diction. nor the cost of how probable is this ration when for example the serbs could leave as they left croatia in one nine hundred ninety. the best possible solution would be to divide kosovo the northern part should reintegrate with serbia while this human community they would remain in kosovo should enjoy the protection of the serbian state through money stories in kosovo should have an extra tutorial status the arrogance of the great powers they continue encouraging kosovo's independence makes such a solution impossible however this solution could have been possible and would help stabilizing the situation in that part of the balkans for a long time. since we don't have the leverage to impose such
1:52 am
a solution the only thing we can do is continue our policy of non-recognition of course who is independence we should be ready if necessary to give up our prospects over. this european path should not come at our expense when we are supposed to give up everything in return for a few concessions. mr president you are unquestionably following the process over the chair for the leader and do you get a feeling he have a feeling that he's getting a fair trial in the hague. i have heard complaints about the fairness of the trial in the hague i mean occasions many lawyers say the court disregards its own procedures and ignores facts others say the court has different approaches in different criteria when it comes to serbs disservice i judged much more strictly and received much more serious punishment on those who say that dissipated in the
1:53 am
trials which we can know but notice all these things but what's clear is that both serbia and this republic in those near have fulfilled their commitments to the hague tribunal. none of the fugitives wanted by the hague tribunal is at large now all of them are in the hague who were earlier put on trial we should be relieved over great responsibility others feel better anyway one thing is clear they hate trade you know. was established in accordance with the dayton agreement we agreed to comply with the decisions of the tribe you know. is the first president of the serb republic. undoubtedly in the beginning during the process of disintegration of former yugoslavia he became the leader of a political party that encouraged this service to defend their indigenous status in bosnia and herzegovina and i certainly think that was normal of course this should be a personal and individual responsibility who would happen during the war those who face trial and only be personally responsible for crimes and canada their
1:54 am
collective responsibility we can judge how fair the trial is going to be by analyzing the previous trials which were not quite clear how was the arrest of the other one could imagine schmidt by the public opinion is. i mean what was the what was the reaction of the street towards his arrest not only. naturally most people were disappointed with grudges arrest but they realized the necessity of their choice and that sort of action the general feeling of this is this action among the serbian people is caused by the fact that the entire political and military leadership a republican is supposed to stand trial in the hague however that was not the case with croatia well it was in muslims that despite the fact that the also and this created in that war and also committed crimes however they were not held responsible for those crimes there was one common and unpleasant feeling among the serbs that there is no equal treatment of those who are parties to that war and
1:55 am
committed crimes let's talk about the palestine and international relations the position of the western powers towards the palestine their unwillingness to recognize the palestinian state looks like devil's double standards and many talk about double standards in the west in the political scene but as far as i know you said that you will not allow the boston authorities to. recognize it it's a point in the recognition of the palestinian state why why are you on the side of the united states in this question or maybe this is sort of a and a muslim solidarity with israel or what. this is certainly a very special question and there's no simple answer to it was saying i think that palestine should become an independent state after what has happened there there's no doubt about that so i'm not against an independent palestinian state and for the two communities living in the territory that would be the right solution to form
1:56 am
two states if we have a good cooperation with israel which has been showing the highs to give understanding for our stance that we don't want to lose or partnership with israel and we also want to enable the palestinians to have their own state which will pull at this time it turns out that we have decided the united states but our policy and or any chewed on the palestinian issue or were not based on what the americans think about this issue of political muscle we believe that establishing peace in their territory is only possible after all the details have been settled and finalized that we're not opposed to a palestinian state but we believe that unilateral action of this kind could lead to further destabilization and threaten peace. thank you thank you very much and i wish you success in your talks in moscow i hope the russian money will help the economy if you can trick cancel out and just a reminder that i guess the listed here today was miller out does the president but
1:57 am
it's public aspects and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your say and spotlight or have someone in mind if you think rush into next time drop me a lot of calgary walk after r.t. to lead our lives and let's keep spotlight interact moving back with more first uncommon fun was going on in and outside russia and for when they in r.t. take it. back. mission free. education free zones for charges free from h m m's free. three stooges free.
