CENTRAL BOSNIAN CANTON OFFICIALS, INTERNATIONAL REPS. MEET IN SARAJEVO

SARAJEVO $ TRAVNIK, Aug 6 (Hina) - Representatives of Central Bosnian Canton and international organisations that are working in Bosnia- Herzegovina, on Wednesday held talks in Sarajevo on implementation of an agreement on the return of refugees to Jajce and other Central Bosnian cantonal municipalities. The agreement on the return was reached in the Bosnian capital on Tuesday by senior officials of Bosnian Croat-Moslem Federation and Central Bosnian Canton. Wednesday's meeting, chaired by Edward Joseph, the head of the Mostar-based OSCE regional office, concluded that cantonal authorities and responsible cantonal institutions showed full readiness to implement the Sarajevo deal completely. It was agreed that Central Bosnian Canton, in cooperation with local authorities in Travnik, would ensure premises for the office of the federal ombudsman and that each of international organisations, in particular the UNHCR and the international police of IPTF, would draw their plans for participation in a process of the return of all refugees to the canton. To this purpose, on Friday (August 8), a commission, determined by the agreement, would hold a session to organise and implement the return of refugees in acceptable stages. Central Bosnian Canton's head, Ivan Saric, said at the meeting that he maintained that the complete implementation of the agreement's provision on the establishment of the cantonal police was most important. Saric asked the international community to give support to the establishment of the cantonal judiciary as soon as possible to which Moslem (Bosniak) partners had not yet consented.
