GRANIC ON EU FOREIGN MINISTERS' INITIATIVE

ZAGREB, Feb 7 (Hina) - 'Croatia supports the peace initiative of European Union foreign ministers on the need to recognize all countries emerging from the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and in this context, the initiative for a summit meeting of the three presidents, Tudjman, Izetbegovic and Milosevic,' Croatian Foreign Minister told Croatian television this evening. He said the initiative was in the spirit of all Croatian policies, 'and this means a quickening of the process of reintegrating occupied territories into Croatia's constitutional and legal order and the prompt finding of a final and just resolution in Bosnia-Herzegovina'. 'Such a meeting will require thorough preparation. President Tudjman will attend that meeting, if he's invited, and providing the meeting is organized and thoroughly prepared,' Granic said. 'If such a meeting eventuates, it is likely to lead to the mutual recognition of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Croatia, as this is one of the preconditions of the meeting as well as the mutual recognition of all countries emerging from the former Yugoslavia. This is another reason the Republic of Croatia has an interest in attending this meeting,' he said. 072155 MET feb 95
