The paper runs a story on difficulties in the implementation of civilian aspects of the Dayton peace agreement in Bosnia- Herzegovina. Vjesnik runs coverage of Foreign Minister Mate Granic's visit to Dubrovnik and Ploce under the headline "Free Trade Zone - Priority Interest." Another Zagreb-based daily, VECERNJI LIST, also covers the visits by President Franjo Tudjman and Foreign Minister Mate Granic.
