CROATIAN PRIME MINISTER RECEIVES TURKISH PARLIAMENT DELEGATES

ZAGREB, Feb 10 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister Nikica Valentic today received a Turkish Parliament delegation currently on a two- day visit to Croatia. Valentic said political relations between Croatia and Turkey were excellent and that economic cooperation was improving. Turkey was very interested in resolving the crisis in Bosnia- Herzegovina, Valentic said, adding that the Moslem-Croat alliance was a basis for the resolution. He said that the establishment of the Croat-Moslem federation in Bosnia-Herzegovina was in Croatia's interest, estimating that some positive steps had been made to this end in the past few weeks. The delegation calling themselves the "Special Study Group for Bosnia-Herzegovina", was led by Kemal Mimaroglu, who expressed his country's support for the establishment of the Federation in Bosnia-Herzegovina and its confederation with Croatia. Mimaroglu also supported decisions made at last week's meeting in Munich. "Turkey respects, understands and supports" Croatia's decision on canceling the UNPROFOR mandate. The Turkish delegation is to leave Zagreb Saturday to visit Sarajevo. (hina) jn sd vm 102142 MET feb 95
