BRUSSELS, June 3 (Hina) - Sir Arthur Watts, a mediator in talks on the
succession of the countries to the former Yugoslavia, on Tuesday
convened again delegations of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia/Montenegro), Macedonia and Slovenia in
Brussels in order to try resolve contentious issues at a yet another
round of negotiations.
The Croatian delegation is being led by Bozo Marendic.
Trying to achieve a compromise on the succession to the former
Yugoslavia, Sir Watts, according to sources close to negotiators, has
offered a changed text of a memorandum which delegations intend to
discuss in two days at least.
Some parts of Sir Watts' proposals have become available to the
public, and their fundamental characteristic is that they try to
reconcile differences in stands of Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and
Slovenia on the one side and the FR Yugoslavia on the other side. They
will try solving a group of problems about property beginning to deal
with easy ones and then complex.
Therefore, the issue of state archives documents and real estate
should be discussed first, after they were considered at two last rounds
of negotiations but without results.
What is also contentious is the basic view on the succession - the
FR Yugoslav delegation persists in claiming that the former Socialist
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) had collapsed due to secession of
other countries, and that's why the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY)
would be the only successor. But, the four other countries point out the
stand of the international community and the judgement of the Badinter
commission which says that it was dissolution of and not secession from
the former SFRY.
The question how to define and treat the so-called state-owned
property is unclear, but Sir Watts has prepared his suggestion on this
matter, according to unofficial sources.
Members of the delegations are not expecting great changes, neither
are they optimistic in predicting a settlement.
The Brussels meeting is one of the last chances to reach agreement.
In case it fails, some countries such as Croatia and Slovenia have
announced they will demand international arbitration.
