Croat member of the BiH presidency and HDZBiH chief Dragan Covic told reporters that he does not expect OHR or foreign diplomats to intervene directly to prevent the planned referendum in Republika Srpska. Covic expressed his personal objections to the content of the referendum, but stated that there is no cause to ban the process. His remarks came after a meeting with the ADA and SBB leaders in Sarajevo.
