President-Designate of the Nairobi Summit on a Mine-Free World PRESIDENT-DESIGNATE OF THE NAIROBI SUMMIT ON A MINE-FREE WORLD WOLFGANG PETRITSCH In September 2003, Ambassador Wolfgang Petritsch, Austria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, was elected President-Designate of the Convention’s First Review Conference. This event is being referred to as the 2004 Nairobi Summit on a Mine Free World, given the location of the event and the fact that it will mark the midway point between the Convention’s entry-into-force and the first deadlines for States to have cleared mined areas. In this role, Petritsch is charged with leading the substantive preparations for the Nairobi Summit, including the development of a concrete action plan to complete the job of eliminating anti- personnel mines. Prior to his appointment as Austria’s Permanent Representative in Geneva, Petritsch served between August 1999 and May 2002 as the International Community’s High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this role, Petritsch was the final authority on civilian implementation of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement. While living in Bosnia and Herzegovina – one of the most mine-infested countries in the world – Petritsch witnessed first-hand the humanitarian impact of anti-personnel mines. Petritsch’s experience in the former Yugoslavia stretches back to 1997 when he was appointed Austrian Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. From October 1998 to July 1999 he served as the European Union’s Special Envoy for Kosovo and in February and March of 1999 as the European Union’s Chief Negotiator at the Kosovo peace talks in Rambouillet and Paris. Petritsch’s diplomatic career also has seen him serve in Paris and New York. Wolfgang Petritsch was born on 26 August 1947 in Klagenfurt, Austria. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Vienna and was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Petritsch’s reflections on international affairs have been published extensively in the world’s leading newspapers and he is the author or co-author of several books, including most recently Bosnia and Herzegovina: From Dayton to Europe and the Long Road to Peace: Kosovo and the International Community, 1989-2004. .

  • The High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina
    February 2021 KAS Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina ''Future as a duty'' – the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Sven Petke, Suljo Ćorsulić A new High Representative will assume office in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the coming months. Valentin Inzko, an Austrian, has been holding this position since 2009. He made repeated efforts to maintain a diplomatic and fair relationship with the key political actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina. An important pre-requisite for the work of a High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina includes vast political experience and support by the international community. An important step for the second pre-requisite has been made with the inauguration of the US President Joe Biden: It is expected that the United States of America and the European Union will again closely coordinate their political engagement in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the neighbouring countries. Office of the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina (OHR) The citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina have lived in peace for more than 25 years. Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska. Bosnia and Herzegovina gained independence following an independence referendum in 1992 after the disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Bosnian Croats, Bosnian Serbs and Bosniaks were the belligerent parties in the ensuing war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After a four-year war with over 100,000 dead, hundreds of thousands of wounded and millions of refugees, the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement was facilitated by the international community. The Peace Agreement ended the war and guaranteed the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  • Introduction
    Introduction “As I have said time and again, my job is to get rid of my job. I am quite clear that the OHR is now into the terminal phase of its mandate”, said then High Representative for the international community in BIH Paddy Ashdown in his speech in front of the Venice Commission1 in October 2004. For over eight years now the international community has been discussing the downscale of its presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina2, which since the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995 has been run as a virtual protectorate. But not much has changed since Ashdown’s speech. Although the country has gone forward in all fields and the security situation has improved drastically since 1995, with the number of NATO peacekeeping forces decreasing from 60,000 to only 1,6003 and with BIH currently a temporary member of the UN Security Council, no arrangements have been made to grant more sovereignty to local politics. And due to recent negative developments in politics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prospect of getting rid of the ‘informal trusteeship’ now seems more distant than it was at the time of Ashdown’s speech. The OHR, acronym for Office of the High Representative, is the international body responsible for overseeing the implementation of the civilian aspects of the treaty which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is governed by a council of 55 countries and international organizations charged with overseeing Bosnia’s reconstruction, formally organized into an umbrella organization called the Peace Implementation Council (PIC). It is the PIC who 1The European Commission for Democracy through Law, better known as the Venice Commission, is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters.

  • Interview: Wolfgang Petritsch, the High Representative for Bih:”Good Faith for Peaceful Balkans”
    Interview: Wolfgang Petritsch, the High Representative for BiH:”Good Faith for Peaceful Balkans” Old Administration in Belgrade thought that I was pro-Albanian. The reason why I had to leave Belgrade on the day when the NATO air strikes began was the fact that the Belgrade administration was spreading lies on television claiming that I promised Kosovo would become independent, which of course was not true. Austrian diplomat, until May this year in the position of the High Representative for BiH, Wolfgang Petritsch has gained great experience in the territory of former Yugoslavia. As an Ambassador or Envoy he has worked in Serbia and BiH. He was praised and criticized for almost everything he did. Currently, while he is coming to the end of his mandate in BiH, he is drawing attention to himself by insisting on constitutional changes, which, according to many, would determine the success of his stay in BiH. “My time hasn’t yet run out. I still do have time in my mandate. When you take the Dayton Peace Agreement into consideration, I think that the issue of return of refugees is the essence of the DPA. This year, the figures of returns are very impressive, almost 40% higher than the previous year. The year of 2000 was called a year of breakthrough in return of refugees by the Human Rights Watch”, assesses Petritsch the results of his work in an interview for Reporter. Reporter: However, we are not talking about figures only. How are things with real life in BiH? Petritsch: The more important thing than the figures relating to returns is a real return to their homes by those who have that right and that is a recognized fact in the whole of BiH now.

  • Christian J. Ebner193 the BONN POWERS – STILL NECESSARY?
    Christian J. Ebner193 THE BONN POWERS – STILL NECESSARY? Introduction Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), as well as the entire region of South East Europe, is indeed at a crossroads. It has only been very recent since new members from the wider region joined the European Union (EU) as well as NATO. This, coupled with the European Community’s (EC) recent positive avis regarding Croatia’s status as a formal candidate country, has moved Bosnia and Herzegovina both geographically and politically closer to Euro- Atlantic structures. 193 The author is currently an advisor in the Political Department of the Office of the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina (OHR) in Sarajevo. Since 1997 he has been in the diplomatic service of the Austrian Ministry for Foreign Affairs. This article has been prepared on the basis of a presentation given at a panel discus- sion on “Meeting the Demand for More Regional Ownership”, at the 8th Reichenau Workshop of the PfP Consortium Study Group “Regional Stability in South East Europe” on "From Peace Making to Self Sustaining Peace - International Presence in South East Europe at a Crossroads?” organised by the Austrian Ministry of Defence at Chateau Rothschild in Reichenau, Austria from 7 to 10 May, 2004. This article reflects the personal views of the author and is neither the official position of the Austrian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, nor that of the High Representative. The author would like to thank Principal Deputy High Representative Ambassador Donald Hays, Aida Osmanovic, Mark Wheeler, Archie Tuta, Daniel Korski, Carin Lobbezoo, Siw Lexau, Natacha Corcuff, and Vanja Marevac at the OHR for guidance, advise and collegial support, as well as Colonel Thomas Rapatz, Austrian Defence At- taché in BiH, and Ulrike Ngyen of the Austrian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and for- mer OHR lawyer Laurent Pech for their support and helpful research assistance during the preparation of this article.

  • Balkan Kot Šansa / the Balkans As a Chance Friedensbildung Strukturell Verankern
    „BALKAN ALS CHANCE“ Balkan kot šansa / The Balkans as a Chance Friedensbildung strukturell verankern „Erinnern“, „Versöhnen“, „Zukunft gestalten“ – diese Worte fallen im Gedenkjahr 2014 oft. Jedes Mal, wenn wir sie aussprechen, berüh- ren wir Dimensionen eines Ausmaßes, das sich sprachlich sehr schwer fassen lässt: Die Tragö- dien, die Menschen in den vergangenen hun- dert Jahren erlebt haben, die Eskalation von Ana Blatnik Gewalt, die Versuche, Brücken über schein- Präsidentin des Bundesrates © Parlamentsdirektion/WILKE bar Unüberbrückbares zu bauen und die viel- schichtigen Herausforderungen, die vor uns liegen. Welche schwierigen Prozesse einer Annäherung vorausgehen, nachdem Lebenswelten zerstört worden sind, hat die Geschichte im- mer wieder gezeigt. Der ehemalige Hohe Repräsentant der EU für Bos- nien und Herzegowina, Wolfgang Petritsch, bezeichnete diese Vorgän- ge einmal als „eine Art Arbeit am Steinbruch der Schicksale“. Er bezog sich dabei auf die Kärntner Ortstafelfrage, doch meiner Ansicht nach lässt sich dieses aussagekräftige Bild auf den Umgang mit viel weitrei- chenderen Konflikten in und außerhalb Europas anwenden. Eine „Arbeit am Steinbruch der Schicksale“ ist auch das Bemühen um eine gemeinsame Gedenk- und Erinnerungskultur. Zugleich aber ist diese gemeinsame Kultur Voraussetzung dafür, dass wieder etwas Neues entstehen kann. Wer Gemeinsames über Trennendes stellt, beschreitet oft einen Weg der leisen Schritte, für die man keinen lau- ten Beifall erntet. Doch in Initiativen für ein friedvolles, konstruktives Impressum: Miteinander liegt die Chance, die es zu ergreifen gilt. Um den „Balkan Herausgeberin, Herstellerin und Medieninhaberin: Parlamentsdirektion als Chance“ ging es in einer Konferenz am 21. Oktober 2014, von der Adresse: Dr. Karl Renner-Ring 3, 1017 Wien, Österreich vielleicht der eine oder andere positive Impuls für ein Miteinander in Redaktion: Susanne Bachmann, Barbara Blümel Vielfalt ausgeht.
