Reports about attacks on Serb returnees (it seems that prefix Serb,Croatian or Bosnian became very important in this Bosnian game) weren't even finished, when it happened again...
Bosnian returnees' attempt to come back to Tasovcici (settlement near Capljina - Herzegovina), place where they had lived before the war, ended with this score-one man was killed and few were injured. Incident (or is this more than just incident?) happened when an "unknown person" from an "unknown car" dropped bombs on returnees who were repairing their houses. The next day local population continued to provoke them verbaly, just to show that bombs weren't unpremeditated. Verbal provocations had tendencies to become a prolongation of the bomb party,but they did not. "Just few houses burning" and that is the end. For now. Minister of domestic affairs in Herzegovina-Neretva canton, Valentin Coric, one of the members of CRO political elite, has resigned. He did not say if it was to release from responsibilities or for the things he had done.
And returnees? Those bravest who stayed in Tasovcici are now in two houses protected by SFOR. I guess it is the Dayton freedom of movement that all are speaking about. 1998 should be the year of return. I wonder if this bloody return has any sense? Or the problem is somewhere else?

Decisions which are being made by International Community, concerning new school books, are shocking to Bosnian public. For example, the obvious one, aside from all other advised things, it has been recommended, meaning ordered, to use the phrase "war mistake" instead "war crime".
War mistake?
Yes, mistakes that caused deaths of 250 000 people are really interesting. Are the raped women and killed children also a part of that mistake? No, the international officials have not answered that. They only said that the information is not true or better yet, it is not interpreted well.
If they really think this war was a mistake, then there is no reason for the court in the Hague. They could send all sinners from Hague to churches to confess and get forgiveness, and the problem will be solved. And to comfort their victims, they can build psychiatric clinics, homes for orphans, or even a few houses.
If that's the way things are.

Although Kosovo is maybe geographicaly far, consequences of war which happens there (or it is over), can be felt in Bosnia & Herzegovina. It is not only because of more than 10000 refugees who found their temporary rescue in B&H. The number of things which got more complicated along with situation on Kosovo is much bigger. For example,safety of foreign citizens.
International Community thought about the possibility that some of foreign citizens could be hostages during NATO bombing on Kosovo (as it happened during bombing Bosnian Serbs). Embasies gave warnings to their citizens to leave Republika Srpska.We don't know is it really so or it is only precautionary, but panic was simillar to things which happened in SR Yugoslavia.
Carlos Westendorp wrote a letter to Slobodan Milosevic and warned him to keep Seselj away from Bosnia. It is probably because Seselj didn't deny possibility of revenge. He even said that if his pawl Poplasen is president of RS, things should change (radical?).
Few sources had the information that some of the targets in RS are mentioned to be goals for bombing (because of their importancy and connections with information system of Yugoslav Army). I am not sure, but someone said that there were some protests against NATO military acting in Banjaluka.
With ending this bombing danger tensions decreased. There is only few information about Kosovo, some statictics about number of injured or news about Milosevic's new laws about “support of public informing”.
And nobody speaks about return/care of those more than 10.000 people from Kosovo who are now in Bosnia.

The government put them all in a same place, no bad thoughts involved, probably.
Bosnian miners were on strike again. Because they didn't get pays, of course, what else. It seems that it has become the usual and probably the only way to get their money - stop the production, go out on the street, if possible come to Sarajevo... And a couple of days later, the debts are settled. And that continues, month after month, till who knows when.
Also, members of JOB (United War Veterans Organization) from Zenica, have demonstrated again. At the meeting called " We're Still Alive ", they have, once again, decided to point to problems they are having in everyday life. I am not sure if anyone had heard them out. Probably not. Or maybe, it is all about the fact that the veterans are regularly going out on the street to share their happiness with others, after promises they keep getting from the government. It is interesting how they were accused by Zenica authorities of provoking social riots. Who is crazy here ?
And those who are not on the streets yet, but probably will be soon, are the citizens who will soon be effected by realization of the Sarajevo return declaration. The process of return, which is the least of all based on reciprocity and mutual freedom for return, will be anything but logical and realistic. The process of return ( going on in Federation ), is absurd and bizarre. Literally interpreted law orders to expell citizens whose homes have been destroyed and citizens who are expelled from RS from their new homes in order to give space to returnees who come back from western Europe. The problem is not that they have to leave apartments or that somebody is coming back, but the problem thatb in the future there is no place to go but on the street. There are no other options for them at the moment. A possible option for the International Community - forcing RS to accept the expelled / accepting the process of return is still not realized and the question is when it will be. Authorities in RS don't want that at the moment. International Community can, but will it and when, that's another question. Till then - social disorders. On the streets ?
