PROJECT ON TOURIST DEVELOPMENT OF PREVLAKA PRESENTED IN DUBROVNIK

DUBROVNIK $ DUBROVNIK, Aug 25 (Hina) - A project on tourist development possibilities of Croatia's southern-most peninsula of Ostro, including the demobilized Prevlaka, Croatia's UN-monitored tip bordering with Montenegro, was presented in Dubrovnik on Sunday evening. Attending the presentation of the Croatian government- ordered project were Croatian Deputy Foreign Minister Neven Madey, the president of the Croatian State Commission for Borders, Hrvoje Kacic, Croatian Tourism Minister Niko Bulic, U.S. Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith, the commander of the Croatian Navy, Vice Admiral Vid Stipetic, the commander of the Croatian Army's Fourth District Major General Milivoj Petkovic, numerous Dubrovnik County residents and Prefect Jure Buric. The project, presented by author Stijepo Butijer, envisages the building of a tourist complex with a marina, as well as other catering, entertainment and recreation facilities. With a project on Prevlaka's tourist development, Croatia demonstrated it had only peaceful intentions, said Deputy Foreign Minister Madey. "We want good neighbourly relations with all our neighbours, including Yugoslavia", Madey said, adding the precondition for the tourist development of Ostro and Prevlaka was the completion of discussions between commissions for borders of Croatia and Yugoslavia. Croatia pointed out it would not discuss alterations to the borderline on several occasions in the past, Madey said, but it was willing to talk about all issues of importance to the security of both countries in the area in question. "Croatia has none other than peaceful intentions in this region", the deputy foreign minister concluded. (hina) ha jn 251253 MET aug 97
