needed for that purpose;

 
  •  

welcome the high degree of coordination ensured by the plan, as well as, in particular, the intention of UNMIBH and SFOR to cooperate in its implementation to the maximum extent possible within their mandates.

12. Simultaneously, it is also necessary to create the right environment to make returns sustainable, by strengthening the country both internally and externally. A great deal of the physical infrastructure of the country has been repaired. We agree to focus on inculcating the principles that underpin a self-sustaining free market economy and which are vital to any free and democratic society-- the rule of law, above all, and the institutions to uphold it.

We are determined to see the inner core of BiH strengthened by building the rule of law, reinforcing the common institutions, creating a self-sustaining market economy and accelerating democratisation.

The Rule of Law: We consider the establishment of the rule of law, in which all citizens have confidence, as a prerequisite for a lasting peace, and for a self-sustaining economy capable of attracting and retaining international and domestic investors. We resolve that a top priority for 1999 will be to build the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will work to achieve this through a thorough programme of judicial reform, including:

 
  •  

the creation of an independent, impartial and multi-ethnic judiciary;

 
  •  

the establishment of judicial institutions at the state level in accordance with the opinion of the Venice Commission; including an institution to deal with criminal offences by BiH public officials in the course of their duties;

 
  •  

strengthening prosecution of organised crime, return-related violence, corruption and other serious criminality;

 
  •  

faster police restructuring, including the establishment of multi-ethnic, professional police forces;

 
  •  

rationalising and reinforcing the institutions for human rights protection;

 
  •  

strengthening the Constitutional Court; better public information about the rights of citizens and legal assistance;

 
  •  

developing and implementing an equitable mechanism to enforce legal rulings.

12. 2 Institutions: Strengthening the institutions, especially the common institutions, is also a vital component of any effectively functioning state. The main institutions now exist at the Bosnia and Herzegovina level. But they do not yet work efficiently. Remedying this problem will be a central plank of our work in the coming year, and will go hand in hand with efforts to entrench the rule of law. It will be achieved by:

 
  •  

ending 'parallel' institutions;

 
  •  

immediate and decisive efforts by the Council of Ministers to improve its structures;
