BOSNIAN FEDERATION PRESIDENT KRESIMIR ZUBAK ON VISIT TO PALE

SARAJEVO, Jan 26 (Hina) - Bosnian Federation President Kresimir Zubak on Friday visited Pale, where he met the representatives of the Serb entity. "In order to fully implement the Dayton Agreement it is necessary to stage many meetings with the representatives of the Serb Republic," Zubak told HINA after the talks. The Federation delegation included Justice Minister Mato Tadic, Transport Minister Ibrahim Koluder and Prime Minister designate Izudin Kapetanovic. The Serb delegation was led by Momcilo Krajisnik and Aleksa Buha. The meeting was organised at the initiative of international officials. It was agreed that both sides should immediately order the release of all prisoners. The Governments of Croatia and Yugoslavia would be requested to check if there were any Bosnian citizens in their jails and, if found, to release them. The meeting was conducted in a "very correct atmosphere" and both sides were willing to "listen to the other party's arguments" even though the talks lasted more than two hours and a half, Zubak said. He announced that Serb Republic representatives would visit Sarajevo very soon. "That is not so much a political problem as a psychological one, but it is important to do it in order to implement what has been agreed in Dayton and signed in Paris," Zubak said. "These meetings are necessary, and they are in the interest of both parties," he concluded. (hina) as 262104 MET jan 96
