The exchange was agreed on during Wednesday's talks with the
head of the Republika Srpska Exchange Commission, Dragan Bulajic,
Pusic said. The talks took place in Pale.
The Croatian side would hand over 68 Serb soldiers and
retrieve 35 Croatian soldiers and civilians, Pusic said.
"Father Tomislav Matanovic with his parents is expected to be
among those 35 Croatians, as well as the abducted Croatian pilot
Vladimir Sumanovac. I initiated the question of the whereabouts of
pilot Rudolf Perisin who had been shot down near Bosanska Gradiska,
during the Croatian military operation "Flash", but the Serb side
has not yet agreed to discuss the issue," Pusic said.
