sublime dignity, some potentates and warlords will confront her, and
take away her two swords, and leave her only the insignia, whose
curvature attracts them."

ABSTRACT
Asked whether the international community was applying double standards
in the Balkans, with Kosovo moving towards independence, and the RS
being gradually stripped of its competences, Cavic said that the
international community had no ''no standards'' at all. If it
had, the European Union wouldn't have accepted in full membership the
Greek part of Cyprus, leaving the Turkish part out, he argued. Equally,
he said, the international community insisted on lose ties between
Serbia and Montenegro, but was pushing Bosnia towards a centralized
state.
''There are no standards at all, but a strategy to assess the
political situation from one case to another, in any country in which
the international community has manifested its interests'', Cavic
concluded.

BOSNIA: DAYTON AGREEMENT KEY TO STATE'S SURVIVAL SAYS SERB LEADER
Belgrade, 26 May (AKI) - The Dayton peace accord - which ended Bosnia's
bloody inter-ethnic 1992-1995 civil war - is essential for the state's
survival, Bosnian Serb leader Dragan Cavic told Adnkronos International
(AKI) in an exclusive interview on Thursday. Cavic, who is president of
the Bosnian Serb entity, Republika Srpska (RS), said the international
community will be playing with fire if it continues to erode Dayton,
which divided Bosnia into two entities, the Muslim-Croat Federation and
the RS.
''The worst thing for Bosnia-Herzegovina would be if the solutions were
imposed contrary to the will of one of three constitutional peoples,''
Cavic said, referring to the country's Serbian, Croatian and Muslim
populations. ''Unfortunately, this is happening, and it might lead to
an explosion'', he added. Asked whether the situation in Serbia's
southern Muslim-majority Kosovo province, where majority ethnic
Albanians are seeking independence, impacted on Bosnia, Cavic said that
it wasn't the case.
''The war in Bosnia didn't start because of relations between Serbs
and Albanians in Kosovo, but because of relations between Serbs, Croats
and Muslims in Bosnia,'' he pointed out. The Dayton agreement has
proven to be an effective instrument in preserving the peace '"and
that is the key for survival of Bosnia-Herzegovina,'" Cavic said.
Critics of Dayton voiced fears that the two entities came too close to
being states in their own right and that the arrangement reinforced
separatism and nationalism at the expense of integration. Dayton also
established the Office of the High Representative, a role fulfilled by
British politician Paddy Ashdown since May 2002. The representative has
sweeping powers to impose decisions in cases where the authorities are
unable to agree, or where political and economic interests are
considered to be at stake.
Some Serbs have accused Ashdown of trying to extinguish the RS and
merge it into a unitary, Muslim-dominated Bosnia. Ashdown has overcome
Serbian opposition and managed to create a unified tax and customs
system, border controls and army, but the fight continues over creating
a unified police organization, which would be reorganised across entity
lines. In December, Ashdown sacked nine Bosnian Serb officials,
claiming they had not done enough to bring war crimes suspects to
justice - a cornerstone of Dayton. Bosnia's prime minister and foreign
minister subsequently resigned in protest at the sackings.
In Kosovo, according to Cavic, the international community was faced
with another problem: "The principle of inviolability of state borders,
which has kept peace in Europe for the past sixty years. If that
principle was abandoned and if the international community accepted
Kosovo's independence, the message would be that it is possible
elsewhere too," he said. ''Departure from this principle would
encourage dormant separatism in multiethnic countries throughout
Europe'', Cavic warned.
As for Bosnia, Cavic said that the ''war wounds were still fresh'' and
that Kosovo's independence might ultimately affect Bosnia, ''not only
Serbs, but Croats as well ,and, generally, the relations in
Bosnia-Herzegovina and the entire region''.
But he said there was no joint strategy or dialogue between Bosnian
Croats and Serbs, or Belgrade and Zagreb, over what to do in the event
of Kosovo gaining independence from Serbia. ''We have enough problems
lately on how to preserve the constitutional status of the RS and the
Dayton agreement, which is a crucial matter for us',' Cavic said.
Under Dayton, the two Bosnian entities were granted all the attributes
of a state, including their own parliament, government, army and
police, with loose ties on a federal level. But the international
community has concluded that the arrangement was not functional and has
been moving towards strengthening federal, and weakening entities'
institutions.
Cavic said he appreciated that for the sake of joining European
integrations, Bosnia must be a functional state. ''But at the same
time, we must preserve the functionality of entities, and the two
things could be complementary, not mutually opposed'', he said.
Asked whether the international community was applying double standards
in the Balkans, with Kosovo moving towards independence, and the RS
being gradually stripped of its competences, Cavic said that the
international community had no ''no standards'' at all. If it
had, the European Union wouldn't have accepted in full membership the
Greek part of Cyprus, leaving the Turkish part out, he argued. Equally,
he said, the international community insisted on lose ties between
Serbia and Montenegro, but was pushing Bosnia towards a centralized
state.
''There are no standards at all, but a strategy to assess the
political situation from one case to another, in any country in which
the international community has manifested its interests'', Cavic
concluded.
