Havenier: There must be Association, but not with executive competence

US Ambassador Jeff Hovenier has said that the US is pro- Association, but not with executive competence.

He stresses that a Republika Srpska should not be extended.

We said there must be Association. If you see the Ahtisaari Plan, it is a plan that something like this should happen. We haven't specified what powers there must be. We should not see Republika Srpska. There may be mechanisms that do not have that executive authority. He said Rubik. / P ERISCOPI/
