SUCCESSFUL CROAT-MOSLEM TALKS IN MOSTAR

MOSTAR, Jan 27 (Hina) - "Croatian and Moslem representaties have solved many problems plaguing the Bosnian Federation," the Federation's Croat President Kresimir Zubak said today after six- hour talks with Moslem Vice-President Ejup Ganic in Mostar. The talks were brokered by Mostar's EU Administrator Hans Koschnik. According to Zubak, it was agreed that all prisoners and persons in police custody, civil and military, would be released on the "all-for-all" basis. The matter will be elaborated in two documents, to be signed by the Herzeg-Bosnian and Federal military commanders and interior ministers, and confirmed by Zubak and Ganic in Sarajevo on Monday. Also discussed were the power supply to eastern (Moslem- controlled) Mostar and Croat-Moslem disagreements in the Brcko (north-eastern Bosnia) and Usora (central Bosnia) areas, Zubak said. Federal officials are to visit these areas in the next few days. "Having refused the Contact Group plan, Karadzic's Serbs are now seeking to destabilise Croat-Moslem relations," Ejup Ganic said. "We won't give them that pleasure," Ganic said. "The Bosnian Federation is in a tight place and has many enemies, but it is a balanced project," he said, describing today's talks as a "step forward for Mostar." Also present were the mayors of western and eastern Mostar, Brajkovic and Orucevic, Bosnian army and Croatian Defence Council (HVO) military commanders, Bosnian Croat officials and Federal government ministers.
