PRESIDENT'S CHIEF-OF-STAFF MEETS Z-4 GROUP

ZAGREB, Jan 31 (Hina) - The President's Chief-of-Staff, Hrvoje Sarinic, and the President's Special Envoy, Ambassador Miomir Zuzul today met the Zagreb-four officials after they returned from Knin. The Z-4 officials tried to serve their peace plan on Knin leaders Martic, Mikelic and Babic, but they flatly refused to even look at it. The international mediators' intended trip to Belgrade was also cancelled because Serbian President Milosevic refused in advance to receive them. These developments created a new situation prompting the mediators to seek a way out of the situation, the statement explained. Sarinic reiterated Croatia's views on the peaceful reintegration of Croatia's occupied areas. The recent developments have shown that the key to the resolution of the whole problem is in Belgrade and the international community should direct its efforts and pressure there. Also present at the talks was aide to the Chief-of-Staff, Vesna Skare-Ozbolt. (hina) mm as sd 311648 MET jan 95
