State symbols and insignia, citizens’ documents;24. Addresses to the OHR25. Corruption, drugs, trafficking.This preliminary content analysis showed that most prevalent topics arethose about the OHR’s communication with local and international politicians,Peace Implementation Council, UN (Diplomacy, HR’s visits abroad,EU integrations), or topics such as Brčko district, property claims and socialissues. Topics were analyzed not so much in terms of their prominence butmore as trends, e.g. the property claim issues related to displaced people,for instance, entered the discourse in 1998, peaked in 2002, when the HRPetritsch brought a packet of laws related to this subject. Later, there was adecline of their topical prominence in 2004, as people mostly managed toreclaim their property or to resolve their property issues in another way.Chart 5Property issues3025201510501996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004Going back to 1996 and the 1 st HR, Carl Bildt, there were fewer removals,laws etc., which is logical given that 1996 was the first post-war year. Somepress releases also announced that local politicians did not fully understandwhat they were supposed to do or how to act so they would even‘forget’ to show up at meetings.
