SARAJEVO, July 8 (Hina) - The Government of the Federation of
Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday discussed annexes to the Agreement
on Special Relations with Croatia, which had been agreed on by the
two sides at talks held on July 2, and decided to send them into
parliamentary procedure with minor linguistic changes.
Delegations led by the Federation Premier Edhem Bicakcic and
Croatia's Minister for Cooperation with Bosnia-Herzegovina and the
Federation, Milan Kovac, on July 2 reached an agreement on six
annexes regulating cooperation in social care, reciprocal payment
of pensions, culture, protection from natural and civilisational
disasters, economy and power production.
At today's session held in Sarajevo, the Federation Government
decided that the text of some of the annexes had to be harmonised
linguistically, that is, that their preambles have to be adjusted.
The Federation Government also decided to go on with the
harmonisation of another eight annexes regulating property-rights
relations, health care and soldiers' care, environmental
protection, cooperation in veterinary sciences, protection of
plants, cooperation in the hand-over procedure, as well as in
fighting terrorism, organised crime and smuggling.
The preparation of two annexes defining cooperation between the
police forces causes most problems, the main reason being different
views of the two sides on some crucial issues.
The Federation Interior Minister Mehmed Zilic and his deputy
Tomislav Mihalj on Thursday confirmed those difference existed.
The Bosniak side believes that only the ministries of interior of
Croatia and the Federation are authorised to discuss police
cooperation, while Croatia holds that canton interior ministries
within the Federation should be included as well.
