built  in  the  project of constructing unitary and multiethnical
BH,  a  high U.S. official stated. According to U.S. intelligence
services,  BH elections, if they are to happen, will be  held  in
accordance with the line of ethnical division of BH on  Bosniaks,
Croats  and Serbs. The creation of multiethnic society  has  been
