EDITORIAL

Commission foot-dragging It's hard to see what sort of «legal complexities» have prevented the Competition Commission from issuing a report on its investigation into the milk cartel allegations, currently in its third year. The commission and the responsible ministers have announced, at least five times, that the conclusions of the investigation «will be issued shortly.»

COMMENTARY

Paying the price The recent opening of the new Greece-Bosnia and Herzegovina Friendship Building in Sarajevo by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, after it was rebuilt virtually from scratch with funds from the Hellenic Plan for the Reconstruction of the Balkans (HiPERB), was not given much attention due to the catastrophic fires in Greece. Before the war, the 24-story building housed the offices of Bosnia's federal government and during the siege of the city was under almost permanent fire from the paramilitary units of Bosnian-Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his general, Ratko Mladic, entrenched in the hills surrounding the city.
