STEINER MEETS BOSNIAN FEDERATION OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS FOUR MUNICIP

MUNICIP $ ALITIES SARAJEVO, April 13 (Hina) - Michael Steiner, deputy peace coordinator for Bosnia-Herzegovina, met senior Bosnian Croat and Moslem officials in Sarajevo on Saturday to discuss the process of establishing transitional municipal authorities in Stolac, Travnik, Bugojno and Jajce. "We haven't made progress that I wished but the process will continue because a solution to the four municipalities must be found," Steiner told reporters after the meeting which involved Federation president Kresimir Zubak, his deputy Ejup Ganic, Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ B-H) president Bozo Rajic, Democratic Action Party (SDA) president Edhem Bicakic and leaders of the four municipalities. Steiner warned that federal partners would be held responsible if legal authority failed to be established in the four muncipalities in line with the Sarajevo agreement. However, Steiner said that Croat and Moslem officials showed willingness to remove obstacles to the settlement but that statements were not enough and what had been agreed must be implemented.
