CROATIAN-BOSNIAN OIL DISPUTE ENDED

SARAJEVO, Feb 28 (Hina) - The Council of Ministers of Bosnia- Herzegovina will change its decision on border crossings for oil imports so oil and oil products from Croatia will have the same treatment as imports from the third countries. Bosnia's Foreign Trade Minister Azra Hadziahmetovic said the two countries would adjust their oil import regimes because they had found a solution to an "oil dispute" which occurred after the Croatian government introduced special corridors for the transport of hazardous substances. The Council of Ministers has been informed during the day that the Croatian government adopted decisions which include the border crossing of Izacic into the list of border crossings for the import of oil, Hadziahmetovic said. The Croatian government will subsequently determine the regime of transport of oil via the state road D-1, which is closed for freight transport during summer. "Such decisions will stimulate new measures of the BH Council of Ministers," she said, implying that the latest decision definitely ended the oil dispute. The Council of Ministers will abide by its earlier plans on the introduction of new quality standards for oil imports. (hina) sb rml
