Muslim Nationalist Named Prime Minister
From Times Wire Reports
Muslim nationalist Adnan Terzic was named Bosnia-Herzegovina’s prime minister under an agreement by the joint presidency, composed of a Serb, a Croat and a Muslim from the three nationalist parties.
Terzic, a 42-year-old engineer and member of parliament, is to be premier for four years. He will be the first whose post will not end after eight months, after reforms implemented by Paddy Ashdown, the international envoy overseeing Bosnia’s reconstruction after its 1992-1995 war.
