CROATIA AND YUGOSLAVIA ADJUST TEXT OF BORDER TRAFFIC AGREEMENT

ZAGREB, Aug 20 (Hina) - Croatian and Yugoslav government commissions ended two-day talks on a border traffic agreement in Zagreb on Wednesday. The two sides adjusted the text of the agreement and agreed on reciprocity in the size of an area that would be covered by the border traffic regime, said a statement released after the meeting. The two commissions left it to Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic and his Yugoslav counterpart Milan Milutinovic to set a date when the agreement would go into force. The Croatian delegation was headed by Assistant Foreign Minister Hido Biscevic and Assistant Interior Minister Josko Moric. The Yugoslav delegation was led by Foreign Ministry official Rajko Bogdanovic and Assistant Interior Minister Mile Puzovic. It is estimated that the agreement will have a positive impact on the further process of peaceful reintegration of the UN-administered Danube river region into Croatia. This agreement, along with five more agreements which were adjusted earlier, is expected to be signed at the next meeting of Granic and Milutinovic, which is expected to take place very soon, the statement said.
