INTRODUCTION OF JOINT POLICE PATROLS IN MOSTAR DELAYED

MOSTAR, Feb 20 (Hina) - The introduction of joint Croatian and Bosnian police patrols in the southern Bosnian city of Mostar has been postponed until further notice, a Western European Union spokesman in Mostar said on Tuesday. WEU spokesman Howard Foks told reporters in Mostar that more would be said about the matter at a press conference by the city's EU administrator, Hans Koschnik, scheduled for 15.00 hours. Joint police forces should have begun patrolling the city as of noon on Monday in line with an agreement reached at a two-day peace summit in Rome. The interior ministers of Croatia and the Bosnian Moslem-Croat Federation, Ivan Jarnjak and Avdo Hebib, were discussing the matter at Mostar's Ero Hotel and were expected to make statements to the press after the talks.
