SUBJECT: EUROPEAN COMMISSION: WILLING TO SUPPORT BIH WAR
CRIMES CHAMBER; EVENT IS NOT A "DONORS' CONFERENCE"

REF: STATE 31612

We presented demarche (ref) on support for the War Crimes
Chamber in BiH to Commission BiH deskoff Jose Luis Sanchez
March 3. Sanchez said that the Commission will be a
"partner" and continue to support the War Crimes Chamber.
That said, he stressed that the Commission does not view the
March 31 conference as a donors' conference. Rather, the
Commission views it as a BiH-led conference that will present
the current state of the judiciary in BiH, including progress
on judicial reforms, and outline needs for support from the
international community. The Commission, he reiterated, will
not be ready to commit funds at the conference.
