		<description><![CDATA[Stolac is located in southern Herzegovina, approximately 40 km southeast of
Mostar. It is a quasi-mythical town. Nobel laureate Ivo Andric, author of "The
Bridge on the Drina," once pointed out that "if God created the world anywhere,
then he created it in Stolac". Its municipality was indeed one of the most significant
centers of Bosnian culture, and Bosnia and Herzegovina considered proposing
Stolac for the UNESCO list of mankind's cultural heritage in the 1980s.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stolac -- the name means "stool" in the South Slavic dialects - is a beautiful village on the river Bregava, which cuts through the bleak, limestone mountains of Hercegovina, about 20 miles southeast of Mostar, the region's main city.

It is sacred to Bosnians of all faiths, and was proposed as an international cultural site by the Bosnian government. The village's surroundings include a massive deposit at Radimilje of pre-Islamic Bosnian burial monuments, or stecci, of inconceivable value for the world Bosnia is a country with five historical

Students escaping the smog of Sarajevo, we stepped out into the little valley

SFOR has beenrecording the descriptions and license numbers of all vehicles moving in thearea and will provide the list to the IPTF.The IPTF Stolac Station Commander met with the LP Chief of Staff, Mirko Boskovic,on 31.03.98 and questioned him about his officers response to the incidents.Boskovic compared the incidents to recent terrorism in Northern Ireland andIsrael and asked if investigators in those well developed countries had difficultiessolving cases why shouldn't his officers?...  Clearly, their efforts will not result in theconclusion of the case or the arrest of any suspects and are meant to maintainthe illusion of police work in a political charged atmosphere where a crimecommitted against a rival ethnicity is no crime at all.In conclusion, the local police, despite the best of intentions of some ofits officers including the Chief of Staff remains an agency completely disengagedfrom the business of solving crime or protecting the community they serve.]]></description>
