Adoption of the agenda
The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Letter dated 5 November 2007 from the Secretary-General addressed to the President of the Security Council (S/2007/651)
The President
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 consideration 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 consideration of the item, 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 President
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them document S/2007/673, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations.
I wish to draw the attention of the members of the Council to document S/2007/651, which contains a letter dated 5 November 2007 from the Secretary-General transmitting the thirty-second report on the implementation of the Peace Agreement on Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also wish to draw members’ attention to document S/2007/632, which contains a letter dated 25 October 2007 from the Secretary-General transmitting the eleventh report on the activities of the European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall now put the draft resolution to the vote.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
