ZAGREB, Dec 7 (Hina) - Croatian and Yugoslav delegations ended the first round of negotiations on free trade in Zagreb on Saturday, by which the two countries' business people will be provided new opportunities for increasing economic
cooperation. Negotiations with Yugoslavia are very significant because the two markets are traditionally relying on each other, and the constant increase of trade is an indicator of this, Croatian Assistant Economy Minister Olgica Spevec said. Trade between Croatia and Yugoslavia could very quickly reach about a billion dollars, which will be a great stimulus to employment and a faster economic growth of both countries, she said. The two countries' delegations agreed to exchange lists of industrial and agricultural products which they will be discussing on the second round of talks in Belgrade in January.

ZAGREB, Dec 7 (Hina) - Croatian and Yugoslav delegations ended the
first round of negotiations on free trade in Zagreb on Saturday, by
which the two countries' business people will be provided new
opportunities for increasing economic cooperation.
Negotiations with Yugoslavia are very significant because the two
markets are traditionally relying on each other, and the constant
increase of trade is an indicator of this, Croatian Assistant
Economy Minister Olgica Spevec said.
Trade between Croatia and Yugoslavia could very quickly reach about
a billion dollars, which will be a great stimulus to employment and
a faster economic growth of both countries, she said.
The two countries' delegations agreed to exchange lists of
industrial and agricultural products which they will be discussing
on the second round of talks in Belgrade in January.
Head of the Yugoslav delegation, Dejan Jovovic, said the
negotiations were brief, but very constructive, and both sides had
voiced wish for the free trade agreement to be signed as soon as
possible.
