"There are no concrete negotiations. As far as I know, the Bosnian Presidency still abides by the position that the agreement should first be ratified in Croatia, and after that talks can ensue on its changes," Mladen Ivanic told a news conference.
Ivanic could not say whether the issue of the status of Ploce Port would be added to the agenda of the Bosnian-Croatian Cooperation Council, which is expected to convene in Sarajevo on 19 November.
During last week's visit of a Croatian parliamentary delegation to Bosnia, officials of the two countries voiced interest in the final resolution of the port's status as it is in the interest of both neighbours.
The chairman of the Bosnian Council of Ministers, Adnan Terzic, however, stated that this was not an issue which he was going to tackle, as the responsibility lay with those who scrapped the agreement he had reached with former Croatian Prime Minister Ivica Racan.
The Terzic-Racan agreement envisages the non-inclusion of an international representative in the port's managing board with a provision that possible disputes would be sent to arbitration.
The agreement was discarded by Bosnia's three-man presidency at the insistence of its member Sulejman Tihic.
