PRLIC SUPPORTS RESUMPTION OF DIALOGUE ON MOSTAR

SARAJEVO, Feb 17 (Hina) - The office of Bosnian Foreign Minister Jadranko Prlic issued a statement on Saturday to elaborate on the Minister's statement on the situation in the southern town of Mostar which he had made at a press conference in Sarajevo on Wednesday. "Taking into account the firm views of international factors which support the arbitration of European Union Administrator Hans Koschnik, (Prlic) advocates the resumption of dialogue so that the arguments of the Croatian side, which arise from the national interests of the Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina, could be considered," the statement said. Prlic's diplomatic activity was directed at finding solutions to the Mostar problem which would satisfy both sides, the statement said. (hina) vm 171937 MET feb 96
