REPORT ON ALLEGED MEETING OF TUDJMAN,KARADZIC REPEATED

SARAJEVO, May 21 (Hina) - The Croatian Embassy in Sarajevo on Tuesday regretted that lies on an alleged meeting between Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic were reported again. The Sarajevo weekly "Slobodna Bosna" again made the report, regardless of the fact that the Croatian President's Office and the Croatian Embassy in Bosnia-Herzegovina had denied it on 7 May. #L# A statement from the Croatian Embassy in Sarajevo reiterated that reports on a meeting between Tudjman and Karadzic were completely false, such as was a report that their last meeting, which allegedly took place at the time when Karadzic represented the Bosnian Serbs, was demanded by an International Community representative during talks in Geneva in December 1993. "As was reiterated many times during meetings of representatives of Croats, Bosniacs and the International Community, the establishment of the Federation of Bosnia- Herzegovina is a process with no alternative in spite of all its opponents, who are fighting against the establishment of relations and institutions between Croats and Bosniacs, by using the simplest untruths in order to misinform the public", the statement concluded.
