EUROPEAN UNION TO STIMULATE COUNTRIES WHICH WOULD COOPERATE

SARAJEVO, June 7 (Hina) - EU High representatives Jacques Santer and Lamberto Dini who on Friday visited Sarajevo, announced the possibility of special incentives to states which express full readiness for cooperation in the implementation of the Dayton peace accords. With their visit to Sarajevo, president of the European Commission Jacques Santer and the president of the Council of Europe's Council of Ministers Lamberto Dini, marked the beginning of their visit to successor countries to the former Yugoslavia. The aim of their visit is to prepare a meeting in Florence which would discuss the implementation of the Dayton peace accords so far. #L# The European Union would establish privileged relations with countries which were ready for full cooperation in the implementation of the Dayton accords, and this would be especially accented during talks in Zagreb and Belgrade, Santer told a news conference in Sarajevo. Santer and Dini on Friday signed an agreement with Bosnian Premier hasan Muratovic, which sanctions an additional 62 million ECU's within the framework of the previously sanctioned assistance for the reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina. They also signed an agreement which sanctions 10 million ECU's of non-repayable aid within the PHARE programme. Dini said that the peace process in Bosnia had to continue, and stressed the importance of the upcoming elections. Muratovic said that Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina had in a way become Serbia's hostages as regarded their accession into the European Union. (hina) lm jn 071756 MET jun 96
