FEDERAL PARTNERS LACK COORDINATED VIEWS ON FEDERATION, ZUBAK SAYS

ZAGREB, March 13 (Hina) - Commenting on current relations between Croats and Bosniacs in the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina in tonight's central news broadcast on Croatian television, the President of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kresimir Zubak, said he considered that 'the core of the problem lies in the fact that there are no coordinated views on how the Federation should be organised'. #L# 'Whenever it was necessary to implement what we had agreed upon by the Constitution and other documents, we encountered great difficulties. It's the same now. We have to implement the part of the Rome agreements which refers to the establishment of the police force in Sarajevo suburbs and the establishment of a canton in the Sarajevo area but we have encountered great difficulties and differences among political partners', Zubak said. Asked to say whether agreement would be reached in the dispute over the organisation of Sarajevo or whether international mediation would be necessary, Zubak said he believed that the current decisions as regards the status of Sarajevo would be changed. 'I talked today to the Federation's Vice President Ejup Ganic. I believe that we will manage to solve the issue of political and legal organisation of the city and that we will settle misunderstandings with police forces in line with the Rome agreement and the federal Interior Affairs Act', the President of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina said.
