ROUND TABLE IN BELGRADE ON FRY'S FUTURE, RELATIONS WITH NEIGHBOURS

BELGRADE, Dec 13 (Hina) - The nature of new Yugoslavia, the incumbent state and the future of the Yugoslav federation, inter- ethnic relations in Yugoslavia, relations between Belgrade and Serbs outside Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia's relations with neighbours and the international community are the main topics of a round table being held in Belgrade Friday. Present at the round table are Yugoslav senior officials, experts and foreign diplomats, including the head of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission in Belgrade, Stefanno Sannino, the president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Adrian Severin, and the American Ambassador to Belgrade, William Montgomery. Also present at the meeting is the Croatian Assistant Foreign Minster, Josip Paro. The president of an American institution for ethnic relations, Alan Kasoff, said Yugoslavia needed two types of dialogue - internal and dialogue with neighbours. Yugoslavia needs internal dialogue to establish how to correct mistakes from the past, in which the international community can help. The country also has to establish dialogue with neighbours, both the old ones, who experienced major changes in the past decade, and the new ones formed after the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, Kasoff said.
