inevitably begin to reduce in the near future. Bosnia and Herzegovina must use the time that remains to prepare for life without total reliance on foreign aid, and to face  up to the challenge of transforming the economy to generate jobs and a better standard of living. This means abandoning the statist economic attitudes of the past, pressing ahead with privatisation and creating an environment which encourages enterprise and allows the economy to flourish, and in which the rule of law is respected.This also requires a greater degree of commitment and cooperation and a more responsible attitude from the authorities of BiH.

7.We reaffirm our conviction that those indicted for war crimes must be brought to justice. We welcome the transfer of indictees to The Hague, and urge all authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other relevant countries to cooperate fully with the ICTY.

8. We call on Croatia and the FRY to implement in full their commitments under the Peace Agreement and to fully respect BiH's independence and sovereignty.

9. Bosnia and Herzegovina must become a modern democratic country, where all citizens are equal before the law, destined to be an integral member of the European family. It must also be a country in which historical, cultural, linguistic and religious  traditions are valued and respected, where diversity is a source of strength, not division.

10. During the next crucial period we will continue to encourage the return of refugees and displaced persons by fostering a political, economic and security environment conducive to returns; strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina internally and externally; and support stronger ties between Bosnia and Herzegovina and European institutions.

11. We agreed to press ahead with refugee and displaced person returns.We recall the too-long denied right of refugees and displaced persons freely to return to their homes of origin and to have restored to them property of which they were deprived in war,: We remain gravely concerned about the frequency of violent incidents in parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, related to refugee return and to general criminality, and call on all concerned to act in accordance with the law and the Peace Agreement.We call for a re-doubling of efforts to create the conditions for a large number of returns in 1999; In particular, we:

 
  •  

recall the unfulfilled obligation of the Parties under Annex 7 of the Peace Agreement to cooperate with UNHCR and to create suitable conditions for return;

 
  •  

insist that the parties establish the conditions necessary for an effective returns  process;

 
  •  

note that many tens of thousands of Bosnians have so far expressed a wish to  return home immediately to minority areas, and endorse the Reconstruction and Return Task Force (RRTF) action plan for 1999, which sets out an  intensive programme to address the three key issues of space, security and sustainability and includes specific sector plans such as a substantial information campaign;

 
  •  

undertake to provide the appropriate funding, commitment and resources
