ACCORD ON SPECIAL RELATIONS BTW CRO AND B. FEDERATION HARMONISED

( Editorial: --> 8587 ) SARAJEVO, June 3 (Hina) - A Croatian government delegation, the Bosnia-Herzegovina Council of Ministers and the Bosnian Federation government on Wednesday harmonised the text of an agreement on special relations between Croatia and the Croat-Moslem federation. Head of the Croatian delegation Franjo Greguric said the text of the agreement would be forwarded to bodies of authority in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina for ratification and adoption. During the talks in Sarajevo, the delegations also discussed agreements on the status of the Croatian port of Ploce and the passage through Neum (Bosnia-Herzegovina). Bosnia-Herzegovina's Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Minister Mirsad Kurtovic said negotiations on these issues are to continue because the views of both sides are rather far apart. The main problems remained the establishment of a free zone in Ploce harbour, and the Bosnian side continued to insist that a section of the port be allocated in which the systems of customs and companies' business would be regulated under rules valid in the Bosnian Federation. Greguric, however, warned that requests for Croatia to give up part of its territory or sovereignty over a part of its territory were unrealistic. Croatia is offering that the free zone issue be resolved through a joint company which would administer the free zone. (hina) lml 031454 MET jun 98
