SARAJEVO, Jan 7 (Hina) - The co-president of Bosnia's Council of
Ministers, Haris Silajdzic, on Thursday convened a work meeting
dedicated to a discussion on Bosnia's sea borders with legal
experts and members of Bosnia's Central Commission for the
identification and demarcation of state borders.
Central Commission chairman Mugdim Cukle told reporters in
Sarajevo, who were the only ones notified about the meeting, that
the sea border issue near Neum was very important. Neum is Bosnia's
access to the Adriatic Sea which cuts through coastal territory in
southernmost Croatia.
The great importance, according to Cukle, lies in the fact that the
sea border near Neum includes "23.4km of indented coastline,
including the Klek Peninsula, as well as 8km of mirror line to the
sea."
Cukle announced the Central Commission for borders would complete
work on border identification in the course of this year.
He said the issue of the sea, as well as river borders, called for
the establishment of a special expert team which would deal with the
issue.
What the Sarajevo-based reporters had not been told was that
today's meeting was attended only by the Bosnian Moslem members of
the Croat-Moslem commission.
"We neither knew about the meeting, nor were we invited," Zoran
Perkovic, one of three Bosnian Croat representatives in the
commission, told Hina on Thursday.
