CROATIA AND BOSNIA INTENSIFY DIPLOMATIC DIALOGUE

ZAGREB, Feb 15 (Hina) - Croatian and Bosnian diplomatic corps representatives led intense dialogue during the past several hours aimed at finally resolving a dispute in mutual relations, the Croatian Foreign Ministry's acting spokesman, Zarko Plevnik, told Hina Friday. "There are no differences in opinion about any issues which needed further intensifying of dialogue, such as the problem of border crossings or status of Croats in Bosnia", said Plevnik dismissing writings in Croatian and Bosnian media which claimed the two countries at the moment had no diplomatic contacts. "It has been said that nobody agreed or held talks with anyone, and this is not true. We are carrying out intense talks", Plevnik said. Croatian Foreign Minister Tonino Picula on Wednesday said before members of the parliament's external affairs committee that the Croatian government and the Council of Ministers of Bosnia worked on a project which should decide on constitutional changes in Bosnia. The Bosnian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Amir Kapetanovic, neglected this and said there is not any joint project of constitutional changes, even though the official Sarajevo was satisfied with meetings at which the two countries exchanged opinions and improved relations aiming at mutual problem solving.
