CROATIAN PRESIDENT'S ENVOY VISITS BANJA LUKA AND JAJCE

( Editorial: --> 7474 ) JAJCE, March 5 (Hina) - The Croatian President's envoy for relations with the Bosnian Federation and Bosnia-Herzegovina, Franjo Greguric, on Thursday visited Banja Luka (Republika Srpska) and Jajce (Bosnian Federation) where he held talks with representatives of municipal authorities. Greguric then visited Sarajevo for a meeting with representatives of the Muslim-Croat Bosnian Federation and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Greguric said he had talked with Banja Luka Bishop Franjo Komarica and Bosnian Serb Prime Minister Milorad Dodik about the situation of local Croats and economic cooperation with Croatia. Trade between Croatia and the Bosnian Serb entity which had begun last week would be stepped up significantly by the summer, especially in fuel, artificial fertiliser and consumer goods, Greguric said. Expressing satisfaction that Croats and Moslems in Jajce were exerting efforts to secure a better standard of life, Greguric said that this municipality needed a stronger support by the federal authorities.
