The ruling coalition has agreed to this principle. The proposed amendments are in line with EU and US standards, legal experts say.
Vladajuća koalicija slozila se s tim principima. Pravni stručnjaci ukazuju da su predviđene izmjene u skladu sa standardima EU i SAD.
Ashdown's office announced last winter that it would try to cut off the sources of financing that are allowing Karadzic, who was indicted in 1995 for genocide, to dodge capture. Also on the list was Republika Srpska National Assembly deputy Djojo Arsenovic, who Ashdown removed from office the same day. Monday's actions follow a decision by the EU last week to add 12 people, including Karadzic's wife and son, to its list of those banned from travelling to EU countries.
Ashdownov ured prosle zime je najavio da će pokusati presjeći izvore financiranja kojima se Karadziću, 1995. godine optuzenom za genocid, omogućava izmicanje uhićenju. Na popisu se također nalazi zastupnik Narodne Skupstine Republike Srpske? ojo Arsenović kojemu je Ashdown istog dana oduzeo mandat. Akcija u ponedjeljak uslijedila je nakon proslotjedne odluke EU da popisu osoba kojima je zabranjeno putovanje u zemlje EU pridoda jos 12 imena, uključujući Karadzićevu suprugu i sina.
The United States, meanwhile, has added three names to the list of more than 150 people whose US accounts have been frozen because of their obstruction of peace agreements in BiH, Kosovo and Macedonia. Ashdown said the Office of the High Representative's methods of listing people were the same as those used by the US government and the EU, and that Monday's list was an administrative action, not a trial.
U međuvremenu, Sjedinjene Drzave dodale su jos tri imena na popis od vise od 150 osoba kojima su zbog opstrukcije mirovnih sporazuma u BiH, na Kosovu i u Makedoniji, zamrznuti bankovni računi u SAD- u. Ashdown je izjavio kako odluka Ureda visokog predstavnika o zamrzavanju računa određenih osoba predstavlja istu praksu koju primjenjuju vlade SAD i EU, dodajući da je popis od ponedjeljka administrativna akcija, a ne sudski proces.
"I have acted where I consider [our evidence] to be evidence of a sufficiently strong nature," he said. Local authorities, Ashdown emphasised, are as much partners in catching war crimes suspects as are international players such as the EU, the UN tribunal and SFOR personnel. "The members of the coalition have different weapons, which we use in different ways at different times, but we all have one, co-ordinated purpose, and that is to clean up BiH," he said, adding that the international community has taken a more active stance, over the past several months, in cutting off suspected criminals from their support networks. "Instead of standing around waiting for the poisoned fruit to fall, we are now strenuously and systematically attacking the branch, the trunk and the roots," Ashdown said.
"Djelovao sam tamo gdje sam smatrao da su nasi dokazi dovoljno jaki", naglasio je Ashdown. On je istaknuo da su lokalne vlasti partneri u hvatanju osoba osumnjičenih za ratne zločine isto koliko i međunarodni čimbenici poput EU, tribunala UN- a i osoblja SFOR- a. "�lanovi koalicije imaju različite metode koje koristimo na različite načine i u različito vrijeme, ali svi imamo jedan, koordinirani cilj, a to je čisćenje BiH", rekao je Ashdown, dodajući da je međunarodna zajednica u posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci zauzela aktivniji pristup odsijecajući osumnjičene ratne zločince od njihove mreze potpore. "Umjesto da stojimo i čekamo da trulo voće samo padne s grane, mi sada uporno i sustavno napadamo granu, stablo i korijenje", naglasio je Ashdown.
Croatia's New Anti-Corruption Hotline Is Constantly Hot 09/ 07/ 2003 A new anti-corruption hotline in Croatia is proving to be a big success.
Hrvatska antikorupcijska linija neprestano vruća 09/ 07/ 2003 Novi antikorupcijski telefon u Hrvatskoj pokazao se velikim uspjehom.
It has revealed some serious problems in the administration, but is also helping to build trust in institutions that work better than most people assume. < blockquote > By Liz Barrett for Southeast European Times - 09/07/03Croatians do not trust national governments to deliver on their campaign promises.
Zahvaljujući njemu razotkriveno je nekoliko ozbiljnih problema u administraciji, ali isto tako pomaze i u izgradnji povjerenja da institucije rade bolje nego sto to mnogi ljudi smatraju. < blockquote > Liz Barrett za Southeast European Times - 09/ 07/ 03Hrvati ne vjeruju da će nacionalna vlada ispuniti predizborna obećanja.
But also at the local level, in the municipality or post office, the public is suspicious of authority and suspect that staff will block their requests rather than try to help them. The problem can become a vicious circle.
Međutim, građani su sumnjičavi i na lokalnoj razini, u općini ili na posti, te sumnjaju da će sluzbenici prije pokusati blokirati njihov zahtjev nego se potruditi pruziti im pomoć. Problem moze postati začarani krug.
Because citizens are suspicious of public servants, public servants get demoralised and it becomes harder to recruit skilled professionals.
Posto su građani sumnjičavi glede javnih sluzbenika, javni sluzbenici postaju demoralizirani i sve je teze zaposliti stručne profesionalce.
And because citizens expect that they will have to pay a bribe to get a service, they often offer bribes regardless of whether they are requested, adding to the perception that such payments are the norm. One new service in Croatia is trying to break the circle.
Budući da građani očekuju da će morati platiti mito za dobivanje usluge, oni često nude mito bez obzira da li je se to od njih zahtijeva ili ne, stvarajući dojam da davanje mita predstavlja normu. Jedan novi servis u Hrvatskoj pokusava razbiti taj začarani krug.
Set up by Transparency International (TI), an anti-corruption NGO, with funding from the OECD, its aims are not just to reveal corruption.
Servis je pokrenuo Transparency International (TI), antikorupcijska nevladina organizacija, uz financiranje OECD- a, a njegov cilj nije samo razotkrivanje korupcije.
Rather, it hopes to inform citizens about their rights and make sure that they know how to use rights that already exist.
Osim toga on se nada da će informirati građane o njihovim pravima i načinima kako iskoristiti već postojeća prava.
"One of our aims is to demystify corruption," says Ana Milovcic, executive manager of TI's Croatia office, adding "many people in Croatia believe that everything is corrupted." The emphasis, Milovcic says, is on empowering citizens to use procedures that are already there.
"Jedan od nasih ciljeva je demistifikacija korupcije", kaze Ana Milovčić, izvrsna direktorica hrvatskog ureda Transparency Internationala, dodajući da "mnogo ljudi u Hrvatskoj vjeruje da je sve korumpirano". Naglasak je na tomu, ističe Milovčić, da se ljudi osposobe koristiti već postojeće procedure.
"Before people even try to get information or make a complaint they have the attitude that nothing can be done.
"Prije no sto ljudi čak i pokusaju dobiti informaciju ili uloziti zalbu oni smatraju da se nista ne moze učiniti.
Part of what we do is encourage them to try, and tell them how to do it, "she explains. Around one-fifth of the calls refer to suspected corruption in the courts, known for their long delays and non-transparent practices.
Dio onoga sto mi radimo je ohrabriti ih da to učine i kazati im kako to učiniti ", pojasnjava Ana Milovčić. Oko jedne petine poziva odnosi se na sumnje o korupciji u sudovima, poznatim po sporosti i netransparentnosti u obavljanju posla.
About the same amount cite corruption in the various ministries.
Otprilike isti broj poziva odnosi se na korupciju u različitim ministarstvima.
Health care is the subject of around one in ten calls.
Zdravstvena zastita je tema jednog od deset poziva.
Citizens report having to pay 2,000 euros to obtain surgery, while war veterans claim that it is necessary to pay 5,000 euros to obtain a doctor's certificate stating that one suffers from post-war stress.
Građani javljaju da moraju platiti 2, 000 eura kako bi bili operirani, dok ratni veterani tvrde da je potrebno dati 5, 000 eura kako bi se dobila liječnička potvrda u kojoj stoji da osoba pati o posttraumatskog stresa.
These sums are often well beyond the wallets of those who need them most and show just how damaging corruption can be. In such cases, TI seeks to raise public awareness by announcing its findings in the media, but callers remain anonymous.
Te sume vrlo često daleko nadilaze plateznu moć onih kojima je pomoć najpotrebnija i pokazuju razmjere stetnosti korupcije. Transparency International se u takvim slučajevima trudi skrenuti pozornost javnosti objavljujući navode u medijima, ali identitet osobe koja je pozvala telefonom ostaje zastićen.
In other cases, callers are pleased to give their names and want a police investigation.
U ostalim slučajevima oni koji zovu zele da im se objavi ime i traze policijsku istragu.
TI then co-operates with the interior ministry, which is better equipped to find out whether a claim is genuine.
U takvim slučajevima Transparency International surađuje s ministarstvom unutarnjih poslova, koje je bolje opremljeno za utvrđivanje istinitosti navoda.
TI warns callers that anyone who has paid a bribe is legally culpable under Croatian law -- it is not just those who collect bribes who break the law.
Transparency International upozorava one koji ih zovu da je svatko tko daje mito pravno odgovoran po hrvatskom zakonu -- i da nisu prekrsili zakon samo oni koji su mito primili.
But someone reporting a bribe is nevertheless likely to be looked on kindly by the police and courts. Milovcic sees government institutions as part of the solution and finds the interior ministry very helpful.
Međutim, onaj koji prijavi slučaj mita unatoč tomu bit će ljubazno tretiran od strane policije i sudova. Molovčićeva vidi vladine institucije kao dio rjesenja i drzi da ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova znatno pomaze.
The ministry set up its own hotline two years ago, but it has proved less popular -- perhaps because citizens would rather speak to TI's trained volunteers than deal with government officials.
Ministarstvo je prije dvije godine uspostavilo vlastitu vruću liniju, ali se pokazala kao manje popularna -- najvjerojatnije zato jer građani radije razgovaraju s obučenim volonterima Transparency Internationala nego s vladinim sluzbenicima.
The new hotline gives citizens a voice, but it also allows the government to get feedback on its own performance.
Nova vruća linija nudi građanima mogućnost prituzbe, ali istodobno pruza povratnu informaciju vladi o njezinom učinku.
Over time, it could not only help to rid the Croatia of corruption, but could also build a more trusting relationship between government and citizens.
Vremenom bi to moglo pomoći Hrvatskoj ne samo u rjesavanju korupcije, nego i u uspostavi većeg povjerenja između vlade i građana.
Serbia-Montenegro Hopes Article 98 Decision Wo n't Spark Consequences 10/ 07/ 2003 Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Zivkovic said contacts with the US administration are continuing, following Serbia-Montenegro's provisional decision not to sign a bilateral agreement with the United States concerning the International Criminal Court (ICC). < blockquote > By Dusan Kosanovic for Southeast European Times in Belgrade - 10/07/03Following a period of searching for an alternative solution, the government of Serbia-Montenegro decided to line up with those countries that did not sign bilateral agreements with the United States barring extradition of citizens to the International Criminal Court (ICC) .No one has pressured Serbia-Montenegro to sign such an agreement, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Zivkovic said.
Srbija i Crna Gora se nada kako odluka u svezi �lanka 98 neće imati stetnih posljedica 10/ 07/ 2003 Srbijanski premijer Zoran Zivković izjavio je da se nastavljaju kontakti s američkom administracijom, unatoč privremenoj odluci Srbije i Crne Gore o nepotpisivanju bilateralnog sporazuma sa Sjedinjenim Drzavama u svezi Međunarodnog kaznenog suda (ICC). < blockquote > Dusan Kosanović za Southeast European Times iz Beograda - 10/ 07/ 03Nakon pokusaja iznalazenja alternativnog rjesenja, vlada Srbije i Crne Gore odlučila se priključiti onim zemljama koje nisu potpisale bilateralni sporazum sa Sjedinjenim Drzavama kojim se zabranjuju izručenja građana Međunarodnom kaznenom sudu (ICC). Nitko nije vrsio pritisak na Srbiju i Crnu Goru da potpise sporazum, izjavio je predsjednik Vlade Srbije Zoran Zivković.
"We are in a very specific situation, compared to other countries," he added.
"Mi smo u vrlo specifičnoj situaciji u odnosu na druge zemlje", naglasio je Zivković.
"It would be hard, whatever the government's action, to explain to Serbian citizens why, by signing the agreement, we protect US citizens, while arresting ours and extraditing them to The Hague." Zivkovic also said there have been contacts with the US administration, and expressed hope that the country's decision would not lead to political and economic repercussions.
"Bilo bi tesko, bez obzira sto vlada činila, objasniti građanima Srbije zasto potpisivanjem sporazuma stitimo američke građane, dok nase uhićujemo i izručujemo u Haag". Zivković je dodao da postoje kontakti s američkom administracijom, izrazavajući nadu kako odluka drzave neće dovesti do političkih ili gospodarskih stetnih posljedica.
On 2 July, Washington suspended military aid to 35 countries that had not signed immunity agreements.
Drugog srpnja Washington je suspendirao vojnu pomoć za 35 zemalja koje nisu potpisale sporazum o imunitetu.
But the cut-off will likely have a limited impact on Serbia-Montenegro, which receives only a small amount of military aid.
Međutim, ukidanje pomoći, po svemu sudeći, imat će ograničen utjecaj na Srbiju i Crnu Goru koja prima mali iznos vojne pomoći.
The country first needs to become a member of the Partnership for Peace programme before it can use such aid efficiently, analysts say. For this fiscal year, US military aid to Serbia-Montenegro stands at $278,000.
Analitičari ukazuju da zemlja treba postati članicom Partnerstva za mir prije no sto moze uspjesno koristiti takvu vrstu pomoći. Vojna pomoć Sjedinjenih Drzava Srbiji i Crnoj Gori u ovoj fiskalnoj godini iznosi 278, 000 dolara.
The funds, earmarked for equipping an English-language study lab, have already been approved and will not be revoked. While the United States supports the concept of the ICC, it is concerned about what it views as serious drawbacks, including lack of Security Council control, failure to define the crime of aggression, and imbuing the court with rights contrary to the UN Charter.
Sredstva namijenjena opremanju laboratorija za učenje engleskog jezika već su odobrena i neće biti povučena. Iako Sjedinjene Drzave podupiru koncept ICC- a, istodobno izrazavaju zabrinutost glede, kako drze, ozbiljnih nedostataka, uključujući nedostatak nadzora suda od strane Vijeća sigurnosti, propusta da se jasno definira sto je to zločin agresije, i davanje sudu takvih prava koja su u suprotnosti s Poveljom UN- a.
The bilateral agreements Washington has signed are not intended to exempt US citizens from responsibility for war crimes, officials say, because other mechanisms -- such as the Geneva convention and conventions on genocide and crimes against humanity -- already exist. Further complicating the situation is an apparent difference of opinion between Serbia and Montenegro, the two constituent republics of the loose union that replaced the former Yugoslav federation earlier this year.
Američki duznosnici ukazuju da bilateralni sporazumi koje je Washington potpisao nemaju nakanu američke građane izuzeti od odgovornosti za ratne zločine, budući da mehanizmi utvrđivanja takve odgovornosti -- poput Zenevske konvencije i konvencije o genocidu i zločinima protiv čovječnosti -- već postoje. Situaciju dodatno komplicira, po svemu sudeći, razlika u gledistima između Srbije i Crne Gore, dviju republika koje sačinjavaju labavu uniju koja je ranije ove godine zamijenila bivsu jugoslavensku federaciju.
The foreign minister of Montenegro, Dragisa Burzan, said his republic might be ready to sign an agreement with the United States on its own, should the two states fail to reach a consensus. But on Wednesday (9 July), Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic appeared to back away from that stance.
Crnogorski ministar vanjskih poslova Dragisa Burzan izjavio je da će njegova republika mozda biti spremna samostalno potpisati sporazum sa Sjedinjenim Drzavama u slučaju da dvije republike ne uspiju postići konsenzus oko tog pitanja. Međutim, crnogorski premijer Milo? ukanović u srijedu (9. srpanj) je, kako se čini, odstupio od takve pozicije.
Saying that statements of local officials had been blown out of proportion, Djukanovic called for a more careful approach, adding that it would be beneficial if the EU and the United States were to find common ground on the ICC issue.
Ističući da su izjave lokalnih duznosnika dobile iznimno velik značaj,? ukanović je pozvao na pazljiviji pristup, dodajući kako bi bilo učinkovito ako bi EU i Sjedinjene Drzave pronasle zajedničko stajaliste glede pitanja ICC- a.
Bulgaria's Local Government Elections Could Be a Toss-Up 10/ 07/ 2003 With the competition tough and the forecasted turnout low, this year's vote could bring some surprises. < blockquote > By Svetla Dimitrova for Southeast European Times in Sofia - 10/07/03About four months before local elections in Bulgaria, there are still many uncertainties, including the date they will take place.
Lokalni izbori u Bugarskoj mogli bi biti neizvjesni 10/ 07/ 2003 S ostrom konkurencijom i predviđanjima slabog odaziva birača, ovogodisnji lokalni izbori mogli bi donijeti neka iznenađenja. < blockquote > Svetla Dimitrova za Southeast European Times iz Sofije - 10/ 07/ 03�etiri mjeseca uoči lokalnih izbora u Bugarskoj, jos uvijek je mnogo neizvjesnosti, uključujući i sam datum njihovog odrzavanja.
The ruling National Movement Simeon II (NMS) is planning to propose to President Georgi Parvanov that the election be held at the end of October. However, based on recent surveys, polling agencies suggest that turnout could be low.
Vladajući Nacionalni pokret Simeon II (NMS) planira predsjedniku Georgiu Parvanovu predloziti odrzavanje izbora krajem listopada. No bez obzira na to, na temelju nedavnih istrazivanja, agencije za izborne prognoze ukazuju da bi odaziv birača mogao biti slab.
In May, a poll conducted by the Sofia-based Alpha Research agency found that only about 41 per cent of Bulgarians intended to vote in the local elections.
Istrazivanje koje je u svibnju provela sofijska agencija Alpha Research pokazalo je da samo oko 41 posto Bugara planira glasovati na lokalnim izborima.
The percentage was lowest in the medium-sized and small towns, where 36 per cent of the respondents said they would definitely cast their vote, and was highest in the villages, at 49 per cent.
Postotak onih koji će izaći najnizi je u gradovima srednje veličine i malim gradovima, gdje je 36 posto ispitanika izjavilo da će sigurno glasovati, dok je najveći postotak zabiljezen u selima -- 49 posto.
In Sofia, 38 per cent said they have firmly decided to vote. Before the October 1999 vote, Stefan Sofianski's election as Sofia mayor could be predicted with some certainty.
U Sofiji, 38 posto ispitanika izjavilo je da je sigurno odlučilo izaći na glasovanje. Prije glasovanja na izborima 1999. godine, izbor Stefana Sofianskog za gradonačelnika Sofije mogao se s određenom sigurnosću predvidjeti.
This year, however, could bring surprises. Sofianski, the leader of the Union of Free Democrats (UFD), is seeking a third term.
Ove godine izbori bi mogli donijeti neka iznenađenja. Sofijski, čelnik Saveza slobodnih demokrata (UFD) pokusava osvojiti treći mandat.
The NMS has not yet said whether it will support one of the three, or will have its own nominee.
NMS nije odlučio da li će poduprijeti bilo kojeg od trojice kandidata ili će izaći sa samostalnim kandidatom.
The latter appears the more likely scenario. As a result, competition could be tough, and Alpha Research is forecasting a run-off.
Najvjerojatniji scenarij je ipak da će NMS imati svog kandidata. Kao rezultat toga, konkurencija će biti zestoka te agencija Alpha Research predviđa drugi krug izbora.
That could lead to an even lower turnout, which in turn would make the outcome more unpredictable. In elections over the past 13 years, the majority of voters in Sofia have supported right-wing parties and candidates. Sofianski's party was a member of the UDF-led coalition when he ran for mayor in 1995 and 1999.
To bi moglo dovesti do jos manjeg odaziva birača, sto ishod čini jos neizvjesnijim. U posljednjih 13 godina, većina građana Sofije na izborima za gradonačelnika podupirala je kandidate i stranke desnog centra. Stranka Sofianskog je, u vrijeme njegove kandidature za gradonačelnika 1995. i 1999. godine, bila članica koalicije koju je predvodio UDF.
Following its defeat in the 2001 parliamentary elections, he left the coalition and formed the UFD.
Nakon poraza na parlamentarnim izborima 2001. godine on je napustio koaliciju i utemeljio UFD.
In the 1999 vote, Sofianski defeated the BSP candidate in the first round, wining 69 per cent of the vote.
Na izborima za gradonačelnika 1999. godine Sofianski je u prvom krugu pobijedio kandidata BSP- a osvojivsi 69 posto glasova.
Like the pollsters, he now believes Sofia's new mayor will be elected in a run-off, and that he will be one of the two final contenders. The UDF candidate, Oresharski, is a former deputy finance minister and a lecturer at the University of National and World Economy in Sofia.
Kao i predstavnici agencija za ispitivanje javnog mnijenja i on vjeruje da će gradonačelnik Sofije biti izabran u drugom krugu te da će on biti jedan od dvojice kandidata koji će se naći u drugom krugu. Kandidat UDF- a, Oresharski, bivsi je pomoćnih ministra financija i predavač na Sveučilistu za nacionalno i međunarodno gospodarstvo u Sofiji.
After his nomination was announced, he said he wanted to become mayor "because I can propose and realise a more efficient managerial project and turn the town into a European capital of an EU member country". Alexandrov's nomination surprised some, since he is not a member of the BSP and is better known as a banker and financier.
Nakon objave njegove kandidature, Oresharski je izjavio da zeli biti gradonačelnikom "zato sto moze predloziti i provesti znatno učinkovitiji projekt upravljanja i pretvoriti grad u europsku prijestolnicu zemlje članice EU". Kandidatura Alexandrova iznenadila je neke, budući da on nije član BSP- a te je poznatiji kao bankar i financijer.
He was minister of finance from 1993 to 1994.
On je bio ministar financija od 1993. do 1994. godine.
Alexandrov now heads Tokuda Bank in Sofia and, like Oresharski, is a lecturer at the University of National and World Economy.
Alexandrov je danas predsjednik Tokuda banke u Sofiji i kao i Oresharski, predavač na Sveučilistu za nacionalno i međunarodno gospodarstvo.
The BSP said it chose Alexandrov because he is a non-partisan candidate and can potentially win the support of other left-wing parties, as well as centrist and even some traditionally right-wing parties.
Bugarska socijalistička stranka priopćila je da je nominirala Alexandrova budući da je on nestranački kandidat koji potencijalno moze osvojiti glasove birača drugih ljevičarskih stranaka, kao i stranaka centra, pa čak i birača nekih tradicionalno desnih stranaka.
