CROATIAN PRESIDENT ARRIVES IN SARAJEVO

SARAJEVO, July 30 (Hina) - Croatian President Franjo Tudjman arrived in Sarajevo around 9 am Friday. Tudjman is to participate in today's summit of the Stability Pact for South-East Europe. In line with a protocol, which is valid for all participants in the summit, Tudjman was welcomed at Sarajevo airport by Bosnia's Foreign Minister Jadranko Prlic and his associates. Before the start of the working part of the summit, which is expected to begin at 12 o'clock, President Tudjman and members of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina will sign an agreement on the Croatian-Bosnia-Herzegovina border. "For Croatia and all other countries this Pact represents an attempt to regulate and normalise relations in this treacherous region. Therefore, we should not expect anything spectacular. The Sarajevo meeting, which gathers very responsible statesmen, is not a formal agreement but it does represent a harmonised view on the need to normalise relations, and from that point of view Croatia is very interested", Tudjman said before his departure for Sarajevo from Pula airport. He added the Kosovo crisis had directly affected Croatia's tourism as well as other relations. (hina) rml
