ZAGREB, July 19 (Hina) - Competent bodies of Croatia and Bosnia-
Herzegovina on Thursday held a session in the town of Hrvatska
Kostajnica to discuss the regulation of the joint border crossing
near that Croatian town. #L#
The two sides should have agreed on technical details on the opening
of the crossing at the joint location, on Croatian territory,
between the two rivers Una and Uncica near Hrvatska Kostajnica,
read a statement issued by the Croatian foreign ministry on
Friday.
The prerequisites for the meeting and agreement on further
activities were created on 13 July, with the deployment of members
of the Bosnian state border service and the withdrawal of police
officers of the Bosnian Serb entity.
During the meeting on Friday, Bosnia-Herzegovina's delegation,
however, could not offer assurances for the implementation of all
the previous agreements and therefore it was impossible for
Croatian border police to arrive at the area between the rivers Una
and Uncica as well as and for relevant factors to build necessary
infrastructure for the completion of the border crossing, read the
statement.
That is why the Croatian foreign ministry has forwarded through
diplomatic channels a request to the Bosnian foreign ministry about
the evidence that Bosnian competent bodies, together with the
international community, will create the pre-conditions for the
final solution of the Hrvatska Kostajnica border crossing in
compliance with agreement.
