Adoption of the agenda
The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Report of the Secretary-General pursuant to Security Council resolution 1088 (1996) (S/1997/224 and Add.1)

I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina in which he requests to be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on the Council’s agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite that representative to participate in the discussion, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure.
There being no objection, it is so decided.

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them the report of the Secretary-General pursuant to Security Council resolution 1088 (1996), document S/1997/224 and Add.1.
Members of the Council also have before them document S/1997/263, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations.
It is my understanding that the Security Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution (S/1997/263) before it. If I hear no objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
