ZAGREB, Feb 26 (Hina) - A two-day international conference on
investments in Bosnia-Herzegovina started in the southern city of
Mostar on Thursday morning, despite information that the Macedonian
president's plane flying to Mostar had disappeared earlier in the
morning.#L#
The Bosnian collective presidency's chairman, Dragan Covic said that
according to unconfirmed information "the plane of Macedonian
President (Boris Trajkovski) had an accident". Covic, the head of the
committee organising the international conference, did not give any
more detail about the accident, but only said that participants in the
conference would be informed of the further developments.
The radar of Mostar flight control authorities lost control of the
plane carrying Macedonian President Trajkovski shortly after 08.00, a
spokesman for the Croat-Muslim Federation's interior ministry, Nedzad
Vejzagic, said.
He added that the teams were searching the area and were trying to
establish the reasons why the connections between the plane and the
radar were cut off. Vejzagic added that the authorities were not sure
whether the plane had crashed or something else had happened.
According to some assumptions, the plane might have hit the Hrgud
Mount overlooking the town of Stolac.
According to the available information, there were President
Trajkovski, his advisor Ginka Ilkova-Boskovic and three members of the
President's Office aboard the plane.
