The offer was made by Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei
Kolotuhkin during talks with a Croatian delegation attending a two-
day European Bank for Reconstruction and Development annual
conference which began in Uzbekistan today.
The Croatian delegation, headed by Finance Minister Mato Crkvenac,
agreed with the Russian side to finalise talks on the clearing debt
in Moscow in June, by which time Croatia will mull over the offer.
The former USSR's clearing debt to the former Socialist Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia amounts to US$1.2 billion. Croatia is
entitled to 23 percent.
