Kalinic has no power to demolish Dodik

Banja Luka - The last decision of the High Representative in BiH Valentin Inzko to abolish sanctions for former SDS leader Dragan Kalinic, Sava crowns, Job Kosmajca and Nemanja Vasic not much shake in the Serbian political scene, nor can significantly weaken the power of the SNSD leader Milorad Dodik, political analysts assess .

However, although the decision Inckovu RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik received the words that Kalinic "political disability and worn politician who can not harm the RS, the SDS of the rehabilitation staff again raised speculation that they were offered back to the OHR's political scene under the condition that actively involved in the demolition, "Dodik.
- It is certain that returning to the political scene of people who have marked the past 20 years to strengthen the opposition, but the opposition can not have such power to significantly threaten. In other words, a few thousand votes that may be able to "recapture" will not cause major upheavals. The space that could be rehabilitated cadres have been busy busy SNSD OM and Dodik, which has long been assumed, and their political vocabulary, but the whole concept - assesses political analyst Slavo Kukic. He notes that the positive reaction to the return Kalinic, which came from the SDA, in fact, calculations to be so weakened Dodik, who has the ability to create processes in BiH.
According to him, the power of the OHR was never questionable, Bonn powers were available to more, but the political atmosphere in the RS is such that the power of the High Representative may not materialize. He recalls that the same OHR Dodik and brought to power, but such calculations today, bringing the scene and personnel of the SDS, there is not nearly the same effect.
Agrees with him and a political analyst Tanja Topic, which says that for a long time there is dissatisfaction in international circles, those in what is grown and the SNSD, Milorad Dodik, who was their darling. She adds that Inzko chose this moment because it stays enough time to prepare the political scene for the elections next year, and believes that all personnel be removed rehabilitated.
Although most political parties welcomed the abolition of the decision of the then High Representative Paddy Ashdown 2004th in this case four, Topic says that it is a very cautious reaction, even from the SDS.
- We have a very cautious response and the fear of what will bring back Kalinic. I think that to not look favorably upon any of the current structures of the SDS. The question is whether they are a danger or threat to the current leadership of the SDS - says Topic.
Remember, most political parties welcomed the decision Inckovu, and the SDS were ordered to expect the same decision and for the rest of SDS members who were dismissed from their functions. SDS leader Mladen Bosic said that if sanctions are not lifted all at the same time, it was then "attempted political game that throws light on the bad intentions of individuals from the OHR, and their domestic helpers and whistleblowers."
PDP President Mladen Ivanic Inckovu welcomed the decision and said that it is not surprising because the long announces that the OHR, as it is to be bližio end of term, abolish sanctions previously imposed high representatives. From SDA were ordered to understand this decision as "political refreshments, and the Foundation" Truth, justice, reconciliation, "sent a letter to the High Representative in which he warns that the decision on the abolition of sanctions Kalinic, denounced and reformed nationalist Chetniks, could be understood as a victory for the concept of Radovan Karadzic. "
Paddy Ashdown was in June 2004. Kalinic was dismissed, then President of RS National Assembly and leader of the SDS, and 58 more officers in the RS. Nemanja Vasic was dismissed from office by the then Director of the Directorate of Roads RS, Savo Krunic the position of director "Serbian forests, while Jovo Kosmajac removed from office by the Director of the Fund PIO.

Petra Pau of the parties of the left because that speaks volumes of the ruling coalition has abated before the "lobby of traders data.



The law is criticized because it only tightened the legal requirements for data exchange. The illegal market is still booming. In addition to those, for example, sold illegally acquired bank account numbers, often located abroad.

Example to provide NDR television journalists who for a few seconds via the Internet reach thousands of data on bank accounts. Bought them from a man who sat before his computer in Tunisia. The new law it can not be nothing. Peter Sar, representative government for the issue of data security is therefore hoped that the new law to allow authorities in Germany itself prevent abuse before the account numbers are collected and transferred abroad.



The new law includes partial and what is called fight against terrorism. Adopted a long time sprona methods to recordings of telephone conversations held in Germany for six months. Security bodies are hoping that in this way to obtain more information in their investigations of terrorism and crime. Fighters for civil rights to criticize the way that all Germans should be treated as potential suspects. In addition, after the spying scandal workers in a chain supermarket Lidl, they seek better protection of employees. However, the new law that will regulate the privacy of workers, will have to wait until the end of the coming elections.

Did any of electoral fraud in Afghanistan

In the absence of actual, final results, all have different opinions on how the presidential elections in Afghanistan last

No results, no statistics on the turnout, there is no winner of presidential elections held in Afghanistan on Thursday, just a lot of different opinions. The current President Hamid Karzai has declared victory. The same was done and his closest rival, Abdullah Abdullah. The third candidate Ašraf Gani claims that electoral fraud was committed.

The only thing on which everyone from U.S. President Obama to Gani, can agree that the presidential elections were successful for the people of Afghanistan. Even the Taliban, who threatened death to all who participate in the elections and voting, the elections are carried out 76 attacks which killed nearly 30 people, declared victory in a way, because they managed to keep the turnout is relatively low, between 40 and 50 percent, which is much less than izalaznosti than 70 percent in the presidential elections five years ago.

While votes are still counted, Karzai election campaign manager, Din Mohammad, said based on reports of more than 21,000 predsednikovih observers, the current president won more than 50 percent of the vote, which is sufficient for the victory and allow him to avoid a second round of election is to be held in early October. Abdulahov has its headquarters, may be fantastic, the election scenario. Namely, they claim that the former Minister of Foreign Affairs and ophthalmologist Karzai broke with 63 percent of the votes, as opposed to 31 percent, according to their preliminary data obtained Karzai. A senior official of the Independent Electoral Commission rejected the allegations both of Staff. He said all the votes have not counted, and even preliminary, unofficial results will not be released until Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Ghana, Karzaijev former finance minister who was probably finished in a weak third place, said he and Karzai and Abdullah election machinery may be involved in electoral fraud to a great extent. "It is a charge and it is widespread," he said. "Current corrupt government is involved in a huge fraud. In the north, where Abdullah has the greatest support, there are allegations that the official used the power in favor of Abdullah in some provinces, and so they ballot boxes carried to other locations, that would then be closed, "said Gani.

He further charges that the indelible ink that is placed on the fingers of voters, so as not to be able to vote twice, is not indelible, and that could easily be Speer. Gani also said credible allegations that the government has detained some polling stations when voters realized that not voting for them, and that some ballot boxes were full of names of missing women voters, and even around Kabul, where he allegedly voted in one poll even 150,000 women. Gani says the charges are not derived from himself, but to transmit only what he heard. He still filed 111 complaints with the Election Commission in the last two days. "I do not want to go into the validity of these complaints, but they must be investigated in order to reach the truth," he said.

Fiat wins Chinese market

After the historic alliance with the American automotive company, "Chrysler", made another Fiat dream: winning the Chinese market.

After two unsuccessful agreement with Chinese industries, "Nanjing Automobile Corp.. And Chery Automobile Co., the Italian automobile house has signed a contract worth 400 million euros to the Chinese company" Guangzhou Automobile Group Co..

Agreement Fiat goal is to make 2011th in the Chinese factory, "Changsha" produce 140,000 cars and 200,000 engines. China is the most important market for the Turin automobile company bearing in mind that this country, according to many experts, there are real opportunities in the next few decades to become the world's leading economic powers.

Another important step for the Italian automotive industry and the economic conquest of South American market: so will the new Fiat 500, "as transmitted" Wall Street džornal, produce precisely the factory "Toluca" in Mexico.

Features Mexican market is absolutely the economic nature than cheap labor, thanks to the agreement on free exchange between Mexico and Brazil (the country where Fiat quite strong) for export to the countries of South America "Fiat 500", produced in the Mexican factory, not would have to pay customs duties.

In the aforementioned factory for now produce models džorni Dodge "and" Cruiser ", while production of" Fiat 500 "has not yet confirmed with certainty.

According to many it is the first important test novosklopljene alliance between Fiat and Chrysler. Factory "Toluca" a very wise choice bearing in mind that, thanks to the popularity of Italian brands, Fiat can easily sell their models in South America, and "Chrysler" is also known brand among the local population. "Chrysler", on the other hand, does not believe that earned more production, "Fiat 500" in the U.S..

The decision to manufacture abroad, not even hampers the U.S. government, which strongly supported the agreement with Fiat. Department of the U.S. government responsible for the automotive industry is also committed to not affect future operations and potential economic arrangements "Chrysler and General Motors."

But American unions are not satisfied with the decision to the account of American workers helping the Mexican workforce. So it is not excluded any possibility of production of "Fiat 500" just in American factories "welded" in Michigan, or "Belvidere" in Illinois. David Cole, chairman of the Center for automotive research, said on this occasion: "Bearing in mind the problem of employment in the U.S. decision on production in Mexico could lead to political disputes. However, it would be wrong to take the emotion instead of the correct and logical industrial grades. "

The new team of Sergio Markjonea for only two months of managing the American automotive industry is now facing only sympathy, transmitted Wall Street džornal.

Detroit is officially begun production and new models, Fiat drive. The sympathy of encounters and the way Markjone choose their associates: many employees from the lowest position they have the opportunity to become the new managers.

In the U.S., the biggest headache for now Markjoneu are still Italian trade unions: the factory workers' terms Imereze "threaten the Italian automotive company huge lawsuit in September and require a new meeting with the government to discuss the future of the Italian factory.

In Turin, many wonder about the fate of other "Fiat" plant in Italy. "We really satisfied with all new moves Markjonea in America, but we'll be even happier when we showed a development plan starting with the Italian factory factory in Turin," said Giorgio Airaudo, a representative of the main unions Fiomo in Turin.

Rooted corruption is one of the reasons that the oil revenues of "malt" ruling only sets and not ordinary citizens in both countries, while the number of ratings of military groups contribute to instability and threaten the world oil supply.


Ovonedeljna American state sekretarke Hilary Clinton Angola and Nigeria pointed out how important America is to turn African sources of oil in the moment while trying to reduce their need for oil from the Middle East. Clinton emphasized the need for greater accountability and transparency, and angolsku appealed to the government of President Jose Eduard dos Santos, who is in power since 1979, to adopt a new constitution, investigate allegations of abuses of human rights and holds the promise to call presidential elections.

"Nigeria is without doubt the most important country podsaharske Africa," says John Carson, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa.

Angola in the south of the continent, was sixth with 468,000 bare. According to data from June, Angola and Niger the prestige become the largest producer of oil on the African continent.

"Despite the widely feeling that corruption at all levels of government endemična, it is not launched any investigation or charges raised against a government official," the State Department report this year.

Rules of warfare are not do not respect

Three existing Geneva Conventions, relating to the immunity of the medical staff of the battlefields and treatment of prisoners of war were significantly revised in 1949. and the adoption of the fourth Convention, which establishes the conditions and obligations of the warring sides to protect civilians. Fourth Convention was adopted after the Second World War, terror, horror, not only koncentracionih camp, but the case namernog izgladnjivanja citizens of Leningrad and the general and the bombing of Dresden Coventry. Convention was great international support and presence of all 194 countries signed this document. Unfortunately, the signatures on paper do not lead to compliance with the Convention in the field survey and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which is the guardian of the Convention, civilians suffer the most in armed conflicts.

The ICRC is increasingly ask how to ensure greater respect for the rules of warfare. "Geneva Conventions were created from a beautiful and noble idea: to introduce the rules of war - but the world is so convinced in the truth of times saying that" in love and war there are no rules, as recently in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda or Darfur, analysts estimate.

In the First World War, ten soldiers died in a civilian, in World War II ratio was 50-50, while today 10 civilians in one soldier. Attacks on civilians, destruction of their homes, and even rape - the consequences are not accidental but intentionally selected the conflict tactics of modern warfare. "We must find ways to work this into the rules of warfare and a more powerful and uverljivije than they do now," says Philip Spehr, a lawyer ICRC. He says that imposes the question of what to do with the Geneva conventions and that the documents, originally adopted at the time of traditional stajaćih armies, now overcome, or people just do not respect?

"For all of us is a great question. We saw such a large number of civilians who have become victims of war circumstances. We have to deter those who violate them from such practices ", it Spehr. However, all the higher tendency of the occurrence of internal conflicts that are not traditional military clash, but unofficial armed groups - is, according to the ICRC's belief and - the need to modernize the rules of warfare. This can be done through the diplomatic process that will probably take years. "It would be desirable to develop certain aspects of the law, particularly those related to nemeđunarodne armed conflicts," said ICRC president Jakob Kelenberger.

NASA has no means of tracking hazardous asteroida

NASA would need to trace and to follow all the asteroid, which represent a potential threat to Earth, but there is no financial support for the realization of this task, the report published today in the American Academy of Science.

Academy in the report reminds us that the Congress four years ago with the American space agency up to task in 2020. The establishment of control over 90 percent of the land dangerous nebeskih body, but it does not give financial resources necessary for the construction of telescopes, the American media report.

The agency NASA emphasized that without the budget managed to do a third of the work with the existing system for telescopic observation. NASA estimated at about 20,000 the number of asteroida and comets in the sun with the diameter of over 140 meters and potentially dangerous for the country. Scientists have managed to do a map of the 6000 buildings.
Rock diameter of 140 meters to one kilometer to destroy the entire region, but not the planet, said Linda Johnson, director of NASA programs for monitoring facilities in the vicinity of Zemljinoj.

American Academy of Science report zamera American government does not do much to calm down the public, upset disaster films like "Armageddon" and asteroida whose path in recent years were in a very small distance from the Earth.
Academy, however, stressed that the American government, which is practically the only trying to do something about this problem.

Johnson said that NASA to calculate it for asteroida localization, as the law required it to 2020. year should be around 800 million dollars, which would be used to build the world telescope or boot space for observation.
NASA has not received anything and could never happen to anything and not gain, warned John Logsdon, professor of space policy at the University of "George Washington".

At this time in the near Zemljinoj NASA has identified five large buildings enough to cause significant destruction, for which there is a potential danger of one million according to the collision with our planet.
Views astronomers in charge of them are facing up to a rock diameter of 131 meters, for which there is the possibility of one to 3000 to swipe to the country in 2048. and according to two times more asteroid "Apofis, for which there is a possibility of one to 43,000 to collisions with the Earth in 2036, 2037 or 2069. year.

Uterus for sale

New Delhi - India in the economic crisis forces more and more women in a drastic decision - to become surrogate mothers do not you earned some money, necessary for the survival of their families.
Young Šabnam years of imagination that has its own box, but as her husband left without a job, decided that, like many poor women, application for surrogate mothers.
The clinic lowest Patel, one of the best "surrogate doctor," that baby is the first surrogate mother in the town of Anand, come all - of the host, through nurses to teachers.
- Women who come here usually want money to buy the house, returned to the debt or školovale children - said Pajtel Reuters.
Surrogate mothers receive between 250,000 and 400,000 rupee (3,000 to 6000 euros), which is a big sum in a country where most people live only one euro a day.
Doctors, who have acquired education in the West and have well-equipped hospital, but are made from India an attractive destination for various interventions - from installation bajpasa to liposukcije.
Patel was a baby now, more than 100 surrogate mothers - 40 percent for Indijce who live abroad, and 20 percent for foreigners.
It all started five years ago with one bakom which was surrogate mother to a British couple. After that, the city of Anand Patel and doktorka are all well known and became known as the low costs, favorable attitude toward the surrogate mothers and the absence of laws governing this area.
The draft law on surrogate mothers should be found soon in the parliament, and critics point out that the promoters of "reproductive tourism" little attention paid to health and surrogate mothers to care only to para.

- I think that they will not say never, I think that they would not understand - she says.
Some experts say that the surrogate mother, which are barely written, they do not know what are all exposed to risks, primarily physical and spiritual.
They can be everything to happen, and death during delivery, because India is a leading woman in labor mortality by country - 301 in the case of 100,000 pregnant women, and there are psychological problems after birth.
- I was very scared because of our situation, I did not know how to out to the end, but now I samouverenija ... At least we'll be able to buy a house, and then will go for the better - say Šabnam.

Women of Iran and Venezuela is not a threat to the interests of the United States

Good relations Iranskog and venecuelanskog President, Uga caves and Mahmoud Ahmadinedžada to assess spoljnopolitičkih experts are potentially problematic for Washington, but for now does not represent a great threat

While the deepening of relations between Iran and Venezuela may be cause for concern, experts estimate that the foreign policy of their cooperation predstvalja does not currently a threat to U.S. interests.

Three leading academics in Iranian, Venezuelan and American foreign policy are discussed in the Center for Strategic and International Studies on the relations of Iran and Venezuela, countries that have already been years of najglasnijim antiameričkim countries in the world.

Professor of Political Science at the State University Pensilvanijski David Majers characterized the relations between the two rivals the United States as a potentially problematic for the interests of the priests, but not as currently dangerous. Although this question may require some attention, Majers not believe that a "significant threat to national security."

Tehran and Caracas during the last decade reinforce mutual economic and military cooperation. The presidents of these countries, Mahmoud Ahmadinedžad and Ugo caves are supported one another, even when the issue of their very unpopular policies, at the same time showing hatred towards the United States. Since he came to the head of state in 1999. The Ugo caves visited Iran seven times, and his colleagues Ahmadinedžad for those 10 years, twice a guest venecuelanskog president.

During this period of cooperation the two countries expanded to a range of areas. Traveling from one country to another are facilitated after 2007. The establishment of weekly flights on the Tehran - Caracas. Economic cooperation is increased. Joint venture in order to finance development projects in both countries resulted in the opening of Iranian-Venezuelan bank for development in April this year and invest $ 200 million for these purposes. Iran is a part of their production activities moved to Venecuelu, where he founded a factory for the production of bicycles, tractors, cars and cement.

Cooperation in military areas, also has an important role in their relations. Iranian officers are included in the army of Venezuela, providing them on the way to training and military support. Majers believe that the Venezuelan army, part of the Iranian influence, adopted asymmetrically warfare as its official doctrine.

Military relations are more fixed in April, when the Iranian Minister of Defense MOSTAFA Mohamed-Nadžar, visiting Caracas, promised "full support to the improvement of military and defense capabilities of Venezuela in the joint defense agreement."

Mutual commitment to the interests of another state has long been the practice of these allies, even when most other countries did not approve of a policy from them. So caves support Iranian uranium enrichment program, which Tehran says is purely civilian purpose. The United States and many other forces, however, fearful that Tehran could produce nuclear weapons.
