The head of a joint committee for diplomatic-consular property,
Tatjana Kralj Draganic, who is at the helm of a Croatian Foreign
Ministry delegation at the meeting in Bosnia's capital, told Hina
that some 300 art pieces would be divided according to the national
key in a month and a half at the latest.
The committee also discussed the division of diplomatic assets in
Latin America, Africa and Asia.
The most contentious issue could be a set of buildings in Moscow
given that all successor countries are interested in this property.
"The facilities in Moscow are very big and I believe that a fair
solution will be found," Kralj Draganic said.
Representatives of the successor countries reiterated their
interest in the final ratification of an agreement on succession to
former Yugoslav property. The agreement has not yet been ratified
by Croatia which demands that light be shed on where the deposits of
the Yugoslav National Bank made in commercial banks abroad have
disappeared.
The Croatian delegation believes that the problem could be solved
this year, after which there would be no more obstacles to the final
division of the existing property.
