International Arbitration - Srebrenica


There has recently been news from Radio Free Europe of a binding
international arbitration ruling on the distribution of posts in the
town of Srebrenica.

Can anyone indicate which arbitration body made this ruling?
 
Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
 
Dr Fernand de Varennes

SREBRENICA SERBS AGREE TO SHARE POWER

The chairmen of the municipal committees of the SDS and the Serbian
Radical Party in Srebrenica said on 19 March that they accepted as
"final and binding" an international arbitration ruling on the
distribution of posts in the town, Tanjug reported. The municipal
assembly will now consist of 20 Serbian and 25 Muslim deputies, based
on the results of the local elections last September, which the
Bosnian Serb side has never accepted because of irregularities. Under
the arbitration decision, the Muslim side will hold the post of
assembly president and four seats on the executive committee. The
Serbs will have the post of executive committee president and three
seats on the municipal government. The Srebrenica assembly secretary
and his deputy, who cannot be of the same nationality, will rotate
every two months. JN
