ZAGREB, Jan 9 (Hina) - The Zagreb-based daily VJESNIK runs a story on volatile circumstances at the Sarajevo airport. Two aircraft were shot at on Monday, one managed to land while the pilot of the other desisted and flew back, the
paper says. Commanding officers of the NATO-led Bosnian peace Implementation Force (IFOR) have decided to demand additional guarantees for the aircraft landing in Sarajevo, said IFOR's spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Marc Rainer, commenting on the incidents.

"I am not a governor," says Ivica Vrkic, head of the Croatian
government Office for relations with the transitional authority at
the eastern Slavonia, Baranja and western Srijem area.
"Those who have been writing about me as a governor do not
understand that the area is not a separate province, or state, in
which I would be a manager or governor. They seem to have forgotten
what we were fighting for: it's only Croatia and nothing else,"
Vrkic says in an interview.
The paper carries an article covering the economic and
political atmosphere in the Adriatic town of Zadar and another on
inflammatory situation in Mostar.
"It has been apparently necessary to ask IFOR's help in
current situation, but it is obviously another box on the ears to
the process of breathing life to Federation," the paper says.
Another Zagreb-based daily VECERNJI LIST covers the business
opportunities coming as a side-effect with the IFOR deployment.
Various companies in Croatia have already cashed USD 1.3 million
out of total 7 million which had been arranged, particularly in
southern parts of the country.
How to reduce the deficit?, questions a piece commenting on
the national foreign trade results in 1995, saying that definite
account of the deficit (once the data for December are completed)
could rise to USD 3 billion.
