BUGOJNO, 2 July (Hina) - A trilateral good-will mission headed by Ivica Tomic and Darinko Bago, Croatian ambassadors to Turkey and BH, Hajrudin Somun and Kasim Trnka, BH ambassadors to Turkey and Croatia and Sukru Tufan and Daryal Batibaj, Turkish ambassadors to BH and Croatia visited Bugojno and Jajce (SE Bosnia) Tuesday. The ambassadors, who were joined in Bugojno by Andre Herdin, advisor for refugees at the Office of High Representative for BH, discussed with Croat and Muslim representatives implementation of the Dayton accords and a pilot project for the return of Croat refugees to Bugojno. Ivan Miletic, president of the Bugojno municipal committee and Stjepan Vukadin, president of a joint committee for the return of Croat refugees, said the Dayton accords were not being implemented in Bugojno, which has seen the return of only 23 Croat families, out of 200 that were due to return according to the Accords. Miletic stressed return of the Croats has been hampered by local Muslim authorities, headed by Đevad Mlaćo, president of "the war time presidency." Stjepan Vukadin underscored property of Croat refuges in Bugojno is being violated, as well as property and human rights of Croats who remained in the town. Turkish ambassador Batibaj said the mission has established beyond any doubt that only a token number of Croat families has returned to Bugojno. On the other hand, in Jajce president of the municipal branch of the Party of Democratic Action told the mission the pilot project for the return of refugees had been almost completed. Mr. Enver Sabic stressed local Croats and Muslims were willing to overcome certain difficulties, especially concerning legalization of bodies of transitional government, in accordance with the BH Federation constitution and the ethnic composition of the town from 1991.
