IZETBEGOVIC, ZUBAK SIGN DRAFT AGREEMENT ON SARAJEVO CANTON

SARAJEVO, Oct 25 (Hina) - Bosnian Presidency members Kresimir Zubak and Alija Izetbegovic on Friday signed a draft agreement on the administrative setup of the Sarajevo canton. The draft had been discussed in the past two days within the Federation Forum, with Michael Steiner, a deputy to the international community's High Representative to Bosnia- Herzegovina, acting as a mediator. Under the draft agreement, the Sarajevo canton will be made up of four municipalities and a district in which the most important government institutions will be located. After the signing ceremony in the Presidency building, Steiner said that the draft would be sent for consideration to other political parties participating in the work of the Sarajevo cantonal assembly. The draft agreement would guarantee all rights to members of the constituent nations, Steiner said. Zubak and Izetbegovic also signed an agreement on the final proposal for the Federation's flag and coat of arms, which would be sent to the Federation Parliament for adoption. Also signed were two agreements regulating the establishment of other Federation institutions, including a unified Interior Ministry. (hina) vm jn 251633 MET oct 96
