The Security Council was unanimous in calling on the Joint Presidency to implement the agreement. We will be sending instructions to the Secretary-General's representative in Sarajevo, Jacques Klein, asking him to consult directly and urgently with the presidency to move forward. You may ask what will happen if the comments I am making here today are ignored. We have been through this before. The international community will be relentless in its efforts to implement not only the Joint Declaration of New York on Nov 15 th , but all aspects of the Dayton Peace Agreements .
Implementation is the key to success in Bosnia, as it is elsewhere.
Implementation is done pretty well in Bosnia. The country is at peace, the economy is beginning to knit together. We heard this morning of promising events such as minorities in the military and police academies in each part of Bosnia training with people of different ethnic groups. There are signs of progress everywhere but the Joint Presidency, its central institutions, and many attributes of the single sovereign centrally governed state with two entities have not yet been fulfilled. I am here today to express our considerable annoyance at the delays.
