ZAGREB, May 24 (Hina) - Croatian President Stipe Mesic on Wednesday
received a delegation of the Government's Office for the project of
succession of the former Yugoslavia.
After the meeting head of the Office, Bozo Marendic, told reporters
"the problem is that the project was frozen by the international
community primarily because of sanctions against Yugoslavia, so
its delegation cannot arrive for negotiations".
Marendic said they had asked Mesic to try and start up the project in
talks with heads of states and representatives of international
organisations.
Yugoslavia, Marendic said, has already spent a part of joint
resources of the former country, not how much is not known
considering the fact that Croatia has no insight into Yugoslav
archives and bank data in which the funds are located.
We are searching for information, but they are hard to come by,
Marendic said.
Croatia's requests for succession relate to the state of property
as existed on the day the former Yugoslavia fell apart.
Marendic believes that there are still resources and that they will
be divided among successor countries.
Real-estate was blocked and cannot be sold or managed, he added.
"When we achieve a general agreement the real-estate will be
divided," Marendic concluded.
