REBIC RECEIVES A HIGH OFFICIAL OF EU MISSION IN CROATIA

ZAGREB, March 13 (Hina) - Croatian Minister and the head of the Government office for displaced persons and refugees, Adalbert Rebic, today received a newly-appointed chief of the European Union Mission in Croatia for assistance in the enforcement of sanctions, Steen Vogelius, the office for displace persons and refugees said. Rebic and Vogelius discussed the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions concerning Croatia's control over commodity trade from occupied Croatian areas and from Bosnia-Herzegovina in line with the sanctions that UN has imposed on Bosnian Serbs as well as on Serbia and Montenegro, a statement read. Vogelius expressed his satisfaction with the present cooperation with the Government office for displaced persons and refugees, which controls the humanitarian goods transport bound to UN Protected Areas (UNPAs) of Croatia and to Bosnia-Herzegovina's areas occupied by Serbs. The talks focused on measures that should be taken so as to efficiently control the trade between particular UN Protected Areas in Croatia as well as the trade through Croatia to Bosnian areas held by Serbs. The talks also pointed out problems in control of goods transport from UNPA Sector North through Bosnia-Herzegovina to UNPA Sectors West and East. It was suggested that the Government office should assume control over entire Bosnia-bound humanitarian aid that is transported through Croatia in order to prevent violations of sanctions, the statement concluded.
