PRESIDENT TUDJMAN'S ENVOY, ADVISOR TALK WITH BOSNIAN PREMIER

ZAGREB, Jna 25 (Hina) - The President's Special Envoy Miomir Zuzul and Advisor for Bosnian confederal issues Bosiljko Misetic, today met Bosnian Federation Premier Haris Silajdzic at Zagreb airport. We agreed that it would be a good idea to propose a tripartite meeting involving US, Croatian and Bosnian Federation representatives, to find ways to speed up the Federation's development, in line with the Washington Accords and the Vienna Documents, Zuzul said after the talks. He said another idea floated today was for that for the tripartite meeting to debate on the global resolution of the crisis in former Yugoslavia. "We also discussed the situation arising from the decision to end the UNPROFOR mandate and the situation to be expected after the expiry of the four-month truce in Bosnia," Zuzul said. Misetic identified the main stumbling blocks on the young Federation's path as "the organisation of the army, police, customs, the financial system and foreign affairs." "These things can be settled if both sides sit down and discuss them," he judged. According to Misetic, the process of establishing the Federation may take time. "The Croatian side has shown once again that there is a firm determination and awareness that the Federation is the optimal solution for Croatia. The Moslems, for their part, will have to realise that if they want a state or any existence at all, there is no viable alternative to an alliance with the Croats," Misetic analysed. "They have to give up any hopes to apply the Serbian outvoting formula and get themselves a Croat-free state in Bosnia- Herzegovina," Misetic said. The Moslems should create the conditions for the return of Croats to central Bosnia - otherwise, there was no chance for the Federation. Before talking to Zuzul and Misetic, Silajdzic met US Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith. (hina) jn as 252142 MET jan 95
