Croatia is still tracing 1,142 persons listed as detained or missing since 1991, Deputy Prime Minister and War Veterans' Minister Jadranka Kosor told the press.
She said Croatia would be resolute in demanding that the tracing process be stepped up and closed as soon as possible "because it is the most important and painful humanitarian issue".
She announced the chairs of the two commissions would present the results of the negotiations at a press conference tomorrow.
Kosor recalled that the government had set aside in this year's budget an additional two million kuna for exhumation and identification.
She said the negotiations focused on information about mass and single grave sites as well as about the relocation of mass graves in 1995-96 in then still occupied parts of Croatia.
Asked why negotiations had not been held for two years, Kosor said the Croatian side had always been open for them and highlighted the issue at every bilateral meeting.
She recalled that Croatia's list of detained and missing persons had contained 18,000 names and that it had not been compiled according to ethnic criteria.
