1. “We hope also that, under the leadership of the European Union, the various institutions of the international community in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be able further to strengthen their coordination and cooperation, fulfil their respective responsibilities and help the Government and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina achieve self- reliance, economic development and lasting peace and stability in the region, and that there will no longer be such a phenomenon as a cup of coffee with three different prices.”

2. “We have heard, for instance, that some restaurants charge members of the three different ethnic groups three different prices for a cup of coffee. There is an old saying in China: "Peace at home brings prosperity for all". It is only when all ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina can coexist peacefully that the country will truly be able to stand on its own and achieve lasting peace and stability and sustainable economic development; only then will its peoples be able to emerge from the shadow of war and return to a normal way of life. It is our hope that the withdrawal of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH) will not have a negative impact on peace and stability in the country. We hope that the Security Council will continue to follow developments in the region.”

3. “We welcome these first elections, which were independently organized by the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina in early October and were held in a fair and peaceful atmosphere. We hope that the newly elected Government will continue to be committed to the maintenance of peace, stability and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it will give priority to promoting national reconciliation; expediting the return of refugees; and reforming the judicial and legal systems. Next month will witness the seventh anniversary of the conclusion and signing of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Peace Agreement. However, we still see frequent reports in newspapers of problems among the three main ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

4. “Mr. Jiang Jiang (China) (spoke in Chinese): I should like at the outset to thank High Representative Lord Ashdown and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Klein, for their detailed briefings. We welcome all of the achievements made in Bosnia and Herzegovina on all fronts. China has closely followed developments in the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and has taken note of the new and effective measures taken by the High Representative to assist the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina in taking concrete measures to implement the reform process and to promote the establishment of the judicial and legal system. China believes that these measures will help Bosnia and Herzegovina to stand on its own at an early date.”
