WESTENDORP'S OFFICE REJECTS HDZ BH REMARKS ON ZUBAK

( Editorial: --> 2196 ) SARAJEVO, June 18 (Hina) - The Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia- Herzegovina (HDZ BH) has not been well-argumented in criticising the Croat member in Bosnia's collective Presidency Kresimir Zubak for having signed a memorandum on the reorganisation of Bosnian Radio and Television (RTV), the Sarajevo-based Office of the international High Representative for the implementation of the Dayton peace agreement said Thursday. The remark that Zubak is not representing the Croat people is unfounded, Carlos Westendorp's Office spokeswoman Aisling Burne said. Zubak signed the said memorandum in the same function as Bosnian Presidency chairman Alija Izetbegovic, she said. Burne ascribed the mentioned remark to an inter-party debate on who is representing the Croats' interests and how. The reorganisation of the Bosnian RTV has been suggested to the effect of improving Croat representation in that institution, Burne said. (hina) ha jn 181745 MET jun 98
