GRANIC, KOSTOVIC AND KLEIN HOLD TALKS

ZAGREB, March 15 (Hina) - Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic, a government representative in UNTAES, Ivica Kostovic, and the temporary administrator of the Transitional Administration for eastern Slavonia, Baranja and western Srijem (UNTAES), Jacques Klein, met for talks in Zagreb on Friday. The meeting focused on details of minutes on opening the Zagreb-Belgrade highway, air and railway traffic and other forms of communication between Zagreb and Belgrade. The minutes were signed by the Croatian and Yugoslav foreign ministers on 11 March in Zagreb. Granic, Kostovic and Klein discussed the problem of missing persons, the return of refugees to the Croatian Danubian area and the reintegration and reconstruction of the area. "We do not think that there will be any serious obstacles in establishing all these forms of communication," Granic said after the talks. The UNTAES was satisfied with the agreements between Croatia and Yugoslavia and wants to implement them, Klein said. He added that he would travel to Belgrade next Tuesday to continue talks with the Serb side. There was a consensus that the issue of missing persons must be resolved as a precondition for the whole process of reintegration, Kostovic said. Minutes on opening the road and railway traffic should be confirmed by the Yugoslav government by 19 March and their implementation should begin 30 days later. (Hina) lm jn 151506 MET mar 96
