Brcko Supervisor Appointed Members of the Brcko District Office in the Council of Ministers

Brcko Supervisor Susan Johnson today issued a Supervisory Order appointing Mr. Sinisa Kisic as the Coordinator and other four members of the Office of the Coordinator of Brcko District within the BiH Council of Ministers, to serve untilSeptember 30, 2008.

The Office was established in accord with the agreement between Mr. Adnan Terzic, chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Mr. Mirsad Djapo, Mayor of Brcko District, signed on 18 November 2005.

The Mayor, in consultation with the Brcko Supervisor, in late November 2005, identified qualified candidates to be appointed to the office. At this point, the Supervisor, concerned by the delay in making the appointments, believes it to be now essential that the office start its work immediately, in order that the various issues outstanding between the State and Brcko District can be resolved in an orderly and timely manner.

The Supervisor expects that significant progress will have been made in resolving the outstanding issues by the time of the next meeting between the Brcko District of BiH and the State of BiH under the auspices of the United States Department, scheduled for May 2006.
