translation.bs: Topićeva smatra da će za prevazilaženje zastoja trebati jak angažman međunarodne zajednice, koja nekako mora naći pravac između pristupa dvojice bivših visokih predstavnika: Paddyja Ashdowna, koji je spremno koristio svoje bonske ovlasti za smjenu javnih zvaničnika i uvođenje željenih promjena, i Christiana Schwarz-Schillinga, koji je domaćim političarima, bez mnogo uspjeha, ostavio da sami rješavanju sporove.
translation.en: Topic believes that overcoming the stalemate will require a firm engagement by the international community, which must somehow find a course between the approaches of two former High Representatives: Paddy Ashdown, who readily used his Bonn Powers to sack public officials and impose the changes he sought, and Christian Schwarz-Schilling, who left local politicians to resolve disputes on their own, without much success.
