A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON FRIDAY

ZAGREB, Feb 9 (Hina) - Today's VJESNIK devotes the front page to yesterday's meeting between Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and Italian Foreign Minister Susanna Agnelli, under the headline "Koschnik's Decision Will Be Reconsidered." "Croatia is not in the mood for war, it wants peace. This intention has been read correctly in Washington. On the other hand, the State Department is also well aware that Croatia is determined to see the eastern Slavonia issue resolved within a year. With this in mind, it is understandable why US Administrator Klein is so bent on implementing the Dayton Agreement to the last dot," writes VJESNIK's editorialist Aleksandar Milosevic. The middle page is devoted to Bosnian Croat protests in Mostar following Administrator Koschnik's decision on seven municipalities. "Koschnik's Decision Is Arbitrary," proclaims a bold front- page headline in VECERNJI LIST. A mosaic of articles on page 3 all deal with the Mostar issue from various points of view. The paper carries an interview with Bela Tonkovic, president of the Democratic Alliance of Vojvodina Croats. (hina) mm as 091119 MET feb 96
