Tomac said on Monday evening that during his recent visit to Bosnia
he had seen first hand that the Croatian national issue in that
country was not solved and that Croatia's policy must find a way out
of the situation Bosnia Croats were in.
His presentation at last Saturday's gathering, which was held last
week in the organisation of the Croatian True Revival party (HIP),
provoked numerous reactions, particularly in Bosnia.
He was interpreted as an advocate for the establishment of a third,
Croat entity in Bosnia. His words were also interpreted as an
apology to late Croatian President Tudjman because of the then
disagreement with his policy towards Bosnia.
