HR-BULLETIN-Politika BRIEF NEWS BULLETIN IN ENGLISH NO.3323 HINA ZAGREB, JULY 13, 1999 SIMONOVIC REFUTES FRY'S DISHONOURABLE ATTEMPT TO CHANGE BORDERNEW YORK, July 13 (Hina) - The sole purpose of a letter by Yugoslav charge d'affaires, Vladislav Jovanovic, in which the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) lays claim to the peninsula of Prevlaka is to "artificially extend the duration of a morally bankrupt quest for the change of international borders in south-east Europe," assessed Croatia's Ambassador to the United Nations in New York, Ivan Simonovic. The Croatian diplomat forwarded a letter to the UN Security Council President, Malaysian Ambassador Hasmy bin Agam, dismissing Jovanovic's fabrications. Simonovic reiterated that the issue of Prevlaka is only the security problem. Some confirmations that it is not the territorial problem can be found in official Yugoslav documents as well. One of these confirmations is a letter of the President of the Montenegrin Parliament of 8 October
