Croatian village of Privlaka on Saturday, Croatian President
Stjepan Mesic commented briefly on the latest developments in
Bosnia-Herzegovina and on the border between Kosovo and
Macedonia.
Commenting on the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina following the
adoption of a decision on the establishment of temporary Bosnian
Croat self-rule in the Croat-dominated areas by the Croat National
Assembly and High Representative Wolfgang Petritsch's decision to
replace the Croat member of the state presidency, Ante Jelavic,
Mesic advocated the resolution of disputes through state
institutions.
"It is necessary to implement the Dayton agreement in Bosnia-
Herzegovina and return citizens to their places of residence,"
Mesic said adding Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs would easily agree
about the country's future once ambitions to partition it ceased.
The President assessed the political situation in Croatia as stable
and added, "now that the rule of law has been established, economic
activities, primarily employment, will be launched."
"The situation on the border between Kosovo and Macedonia can cause
damage to Croatia, especially to its tourism," Mesic said, adding
he believed the international community would resolve problems in
that region.
