After the talks, Tomcic said that unlike the former Croatian government's standpoint, the current authority's standpoint was very clear, namely there must be no aspirations in Croatia toward regulating relations in Bosnia-Herzegovina. "Bosnia-Herzegovina is an independent and internationally recognised state, a United Nations member-country, and the current Croatian authorities treat Bosnia in line with the above", Tomcic said.

ZAGREB, March 14 (Hina) - Croatian parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic
and the president of the House of People's of the Federation of
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ivo Komsic, held talks on the current
situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Wednesday.
After the talks, Tomcic said that unlike the former Croatian
government's standpoint, the current authority's standpoint was
very clear, namely there must be no aspirations in Croatia toward
regulating relations in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"Bosnia-Herzegovina is an independent and internationally
recognised state, a United Nations member-country, and the current
Croatian authorities treat Bosnia in line with the above", Tomcic
said.
Reiterating that Croatia has constitutional obligations toward
Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina and obligations invisaged by the
Dayton Agreement, the Croatian parliament speaker said that the
stability in the region, in which all the peoples would be able to
exercise economic and social prosperity, is in Croatia's and
Bosnia's interests.
Komsic said they agreed that Croatia could help Bosnia in several
segments, particularly in the implementation of a decision of the
Bosnia-Herzegovina Constitutional Court on the quality of being
constituent of all three peoples across Bosnia.
He stressed that the two countries were jointly working on the
return of displaced persons.
Komsic said that the Croatian parliament speaker assured him that
the Croatian authority opposed the attempt of the Bosnian Croatian
Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) to create a Croat autonomy in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
He reminded that the government of the Federation of Bosnia-
Herzegovina, organised two days ago, did not include the former
ruling parties HDZ BiH and the Social Democratic Action (SDA).
Komsic assessed that the new government was very homogenous and
determined to implement all possible measures to achieve changes in
the Federation, particularly in economy. He assessed that the
former government created two parallel economic systems, which
divided the Federation in two parts.
Komsic said the new government was determined to unify the economic
system.
