Just two points from Office of the High Representative this morning.
The first concerns the High Representatives meeting this morning with President Mesic.
The High Representative called on President Mesic; he congratulated him on the agreement, signed yesterday by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia on the joint fight against corruption, terrorism and organised crime. The High Representative noted that crime and corruption affect the whole region and can only be tackled through regional co-operation and yesterday's agreement is an important building block in developing exactly that kind of co-operation.
The second point, is regarding the High Representative's visit tomorrow and Thursday to Herzegovina. This is a continuation of his citizens' tour of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The politicians often speak in the name of the people, but the High Representative wants to find out for himself what ordinary people in this country are thinking. Herzegovina obviously is one of the most important areas in the country, and the High Representative wants to hear the views of the people there directly.
Tomorrow he will be travelling to Bugojno to visit Croat returnees, and then he will go on to Livno, where he will meet teachers and take part in a radio phone-in programme. After that he will travel to Siroki Brijeg, where he will hold a Town Hall meeting in the afternoon. The meeting will be open to anyone to attend. The High Representative will give a short speech about his vision for Bosnia and Herzegovina and then he will take questions. He knows that this kind of interactive event is not particularly common in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but he wants to give everybody a chance to hear his views and he wants to hear other people's views. We will be issuing details of the venue and the timing of this event later this afternoon.
The High Representative will overnight in Siroki Brijeg, and on Thursday morning he will visit a local Medical Centre to see conditions there and talk to doctors and nurses. He will also visit a local business on his way back to Mostar. In Mostar at 13.00 at the Hotel Ero he will give a press conference and after that he will visit the Old Bridge. On his way back to Sarajevo in the afternoon, he will visit a Croat return site. We'll be issuing a media advisory later with all details of the press opportunities on this trip
That is it from Office of the High Representative.
