NEW YORK, July 10 (Hina) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan suggested on Monday that the U.N Security Council extend the mandate of U.N. military observers on Croatia's southernmost peninsula of Prevlaka for another six months. As
could be expected on the basis of his previous remarks, Annan assesses that Croatia and Yugoslavia have not resumed negotiations about a final solution to the Prevlaka issue.

NEW YORK, July 10 (Hina) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan
suggested on Monday that the U.N Security Council extend the
mandate of U.N. military observers on Croatia's southernmost
peninsula of Prevlaka for another six months.
As could be expected on the basis of his previous remarks, Annan
assesses that Croatia and Yugoslavia have not resumed negotiations
about a final solution to the Prevlaka issue. The last talks were
held in Belgrade almost two and a half years ago.
Annan's report repeats the already known assessment that the
situation in Prevlaka is peaceful and that the number of business
and personal contacts from both sides of the border has increased as
well as that border crossings are operating regularly.
However, given that Belgrade and Zagreb have not adopted a final
agreement on Prevlaka yet, Annan believes that 27 military
observers should continue their mission until 15 January next
year.
The U.N. Security Council should hold consultations on Annan's
report on Tuesday.
