BH HAS NOT ISSUED OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON CRO PROPOSAL AS YET ( Editorial: --> 9981 )

( Editorial: --> 9981 ) SARAJEVO, Nov 11 (Hina) - Kresimir Zubak, member of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, on Tuesday forwarded a letter to Croatian President Franjo Tudjman in relation to a draft agreement on special relations between Croatia and the Federation of Bosnia- Herzegovina and a draft agreement on the establishment of a committee for cooperation between Croatia and Bosnia- Herzegovina. According to a Bosnian Presidency statement, Zubak's letter proposed that a discussion on the two draft agreements take place at the next Bosnian Presidency session, since decisions on those issues were, according to the Bosnian Constitution, in part under the Presidency's jurisdiction. Commenting on reactions on the draft agreements in Sarajevan media, Zubak said the following in his letter to the Croatian President (unofficial translation): "I have understood from (Sarajevan) media that you, Mr President, have received a letter from Mr Izetbegovic's office in which the draft agreements were rejected, allegedly on behalf of Bosnia- Herzegovina. In relation to that, I would like to say that not one institution of authority in Bosnia-Herzegovina has defined an official standpoint regarding the mentioned draft agreements. Therefore, if such a letter has been forwarded, it can be taken only as a personal opinion or as a standpoint of the Muslim-Bosniak side". (hina) ha jn 111719 MET nov 97
