BELGRADE, Sept 26 (Hina) - A consultative meeting among the former
Yugoslavia successor states was held in Belgrade Wednesday to
determine the ratios of allocation of tangible assets, embassies
and cultural goods, but without result, because state parliaments
have not yet ratified the Succession Agreement recently initialled
in Vienna.
After two days of informal talks, it was decided the next meeting
would be held in a month's time in Sarajevo.
Until then, said the host-state representative, Dobroslav
Mitrovic, members of a joint financial board and successor states
that should verify the gathered data, specifically in relation to
Russian clearing debt to Yugoslavia, would be named.
Mitrovic said the debt amount is 1.3 billion clearing-dollars, but
the clearing-dollar value is to be determined through
negotiations.
He also stated that, along with the Russian clearing-debt, former
Yugoslavia's assets amount to around $70 million in gold,
approximately $207 million in frozen assets and $645 million in
various banks.
"Yugoslavia has not handed over four embassies belonging to
successor states yet, and the final deadline to do so is December of
this year," Mitrovic added.
Representing Croatia in the talks was government succession office
head, Bozo Marendic.
