Steinberg expressed optimism regarding resolving the issue of
missing persons.
During the talks, Steinberg had been especially interested in
the progress in talks between Zagreb and Belgrade on the issue of
missing and detained persons, Kostovic said.
"We said what we expect in the next 15 days and what
information we would offer to the other side," Kostovic said.
The talks also focused on a report from a meeting in Sarajevo
which discussed missing persons and the identification of remains.
Kostovic described the talks as important because concrete
information had been exchanged about the process of gathering the
necessary documentation.
"We hope that some cases will be resolved by the end of the
month", Kostovic said.
