YUGOSLAVIA'S CHARGE D'AFFAIRES TO CROATIA VISITS VUKOVAR

VUKOVAR, July 9 (Hina) - Yugoslavia's charge d'affaires in Croatia, Ambassador Veljko Knezevic, on Wednesday visited Vukovar, the main town in the UN-administered Danube river region of eastern Croatia, where he met for talks with local Serb leaders. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Knezevic expressed disappointment that newly-elected local governments were still not functioning. He announced that Croatia and Yugoslavia would soon sign five bilateral agreements. Knezevic said that Yugoslavia was eager to solve the problem of dual citizenship and demilitarisation of a belt along the border with Croatia. He refused to give any details, stressing that it was a very delicate issue. Asked about the return of displaced persons and refugees to the Croatian Danube region, Knezevic welcomed the willingness of the Croatian government to return Serb refugees to their prewar homes in an organised way.
