ZUZUL COMMENTS ON DAYTON AGREEMENT AT ZAGREB SYMPOSIUM

ZAGREB, Jan 16 (Hina) - Croatia's ambassador to the United States, Miomir Zuzul, addressed a symposium entitled "Croatia on the threshold of European integrations and the 21st century" in Zagreb on Tuesday. Speaking of the progress and results of last year's peace talks in Dayton, Ohio, Zuzul said that the Dayton peace agreement contained clear assurances that the remaining occupied parts of eastern Croatia would be reintegrated into its constitutional and legal system in a peaceful way. "That is an important step towards European and world integrations," Zuzul said. The Dayton agreement showed that at this moment Europe could not find real solutions to problems such as those in the former Yugoslavia without the assistance of the United States, he said. Zuzul said that the Dayton talks had ended in a draw based on the apportioning of guilt. (hina) vm jn 162033 MET jan 96
