CROATIA AND BOSNIA SOON TO DETERMINE BORDER

SARAJEVO, June 9 (Hina) - Members of an inter-state commission for determining the borderline between Croatia and Bosnia- Herzegovina, agreed Wednesday there were no significant obstacles to reaching a final solution to the issue, and confirmed an agreement on almost the entire border between the two countries. "By the end of June we will have defined all documents at the level of experts, which political representatives can then sign and say this part of the job has been successfully completed," head of the Croatian part of the commission, Zeljko Dobranovic, told reporters in Sarajevo. He said out of 86 papers presenting the borderline, 80 have been absolutely technically completed, and the remaining six are being worked on, and there is "not one disagreement" in them. There was no disagreement on the border near Kostajnica and in the case of Martin-Brod, the existing documentation only remain to be harmonised, he said. Anto Valenta, leading the Bosnia-Herzegovina part of the commission, said the borderline at the former Zeljava airport near Bihac was being harmonised. He stressed representatives of both countries were expressing an increasing degree of trust in the work of determining the border, which has enabled them to lead the talks to a successful end. "We agreed on 98 per cent of the borderline," Valenta said. members of the commission will meet at the end of the month in Zagreb. (hina) lml jn
