CROATIAN GOVERNMENT DELEGATION VISITS MOSTAR

MOSTAR, June 30 (Hina) - A Croatian government delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Jure Radic arrived in the southern Bosnian town of Mostar on Monday. Radic told reporters that this year Croatia was planning to co- finance the building of a thousand houses for Croat refugees returning to Bosnia-Herzegovina. "We have to help the Croatian man survive on his soil and in his country, Bosnia-Herzegovina," Radic said, noting that Croatia was the biggest donor in the postwar reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Radic supported efforts to establish economic links between southern areas of Bosnia-Herzegovina, from Stolac to Drvar, and Croatia. The Croatian delegation included Deputy Prime Minister Borislav Skegro, Privatisation Minister Milan Kovac, Deputy Defence Minister Kresimir Cosic and National Pension and Disability Insurance Fund Director Damir Zoric. Later in the afternoon, the delegation visited Stolac and Capljina, while visits to the southwestern towns of Kupres, Tomislavgrad, Glamoc, Grahovo and Drvar were scheduled for Tuesday.
