GRANIC: THERE ARE NO CHANGES ON PREVLAKA

ZAGREB, April 21 (Hina) - There are no changes for the time being on Prevlaka, meaning that the Yugoslav Army has entered the yellow zone on the Montenegrin territory and blocked the road to the border crossings of Debeli Brijeg and Konfin, Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic told reporters at the National Sabor on Wednesday. The Yugoslav Army's incursion into the area represents a violation of all U.N. Security Council resolutions and the agreement on the normalisation of relations between Croatia and Yugoslavia, Granic added. In reaction to the incident, Croatia sent a letter to the Security Council, which discussed it and adopted a presidential statement expressing concern and entrusting the U.N. Secretary-General with monitoring the situation and submitting regular reports, Granic said. He expressed hope and belief that the problem would be solved through diplomacy. Speaking about the situation in Montenegro, Granic said it was a matter of Yugoslavia's internal relations with Montenegro. The situation in Montenegro is blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the arrival of the Yugoslav Army at the yellow zone is causing the status of the Croat national minority in Boka Kotorska to deteriorate, he added. Granic repeated he hoped the problem would be solved through diplomatic channels and with the U.N.'s assistance. Croatia is carefully monitoring the situation and we are ready and able to protect our interests, Granic said. (hina) rml
