FROWICK CRITICISES STATEMENTS ON SETTING UP COMMUNITY OF MOSTAR CROAT

CROAT $ MUNICIPALITIES MOSTAR, Sept 29 (Hina) - The head of the OSCE mission to Bosnia- Herzegovina, Robert Frowick, has expressed concern at the fact that local HDZ officials have continued to advocate the creation of a community of Croat-controlled municipalities in Mostar. In his statement, published by the Mostar-based OSCE office on Monday, Frowick said that Mostar HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) party branch's officials were speaking of the establishment of the community of the Croat municipalities in Mostar, despite an agreement between the Bosnian HDZ party and the OSCE of 12 September on halting the activities aimed at setting up that "illegal community". The OSCE mission is ready to use all available means to ensure the respect for the agreement on Mostar, according to Frowick's statement, This southern Bosnian city is administratively divided into six municipalities - three of which have a Moslem (Bosniak) majority and three of which have a Croat majority - and into the central administrative zone.
