TALKS ON CROATIAN-BOSNIAN SPECIAL RELATIONS TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK

( Editorial: --> 1852 ) SARAJEVO, Feb 13 (Hina) - Bosnian Foreign Minister Jadranko Prlic on Friday received Rahim Rahimpour, the Iranian Foreign Ministry's general director for central and northern Europe. The Iranian diplomat told Minister Prlic about his recent visits to Zagreb and Belgrade. Mentioning that in the Yugoslav capital there was a discussion on the difficulty of establishing diplomatic relations between Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), Rahimpour said Belgrade considered the main obstacle to be Bosnia's pressing of charges against the FRY in the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Prlic said the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bosnia and the FRY was important, and that new initiatives and stronger intervention by the international community would be undoubtedly useful for that issue. Prlic also told the Iranian diplomat that most probably next week talks would continue on the Croatian port of Ploce, Bosnia's Adriatic town of Neum and special relations between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. He said an agreement on those issues could be successfully reached next month. (Hina) mm mb 132126 MET feb 98
