ZUBAK SAYS IZETBEGOVIC NOT SINCERE PROPONENT OF FEDERATION

MOSTAR, March 30 (Hina) - The Bosnian Federation President, Kresimir Zubak, today commented on statements by the President of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegovic, given during his visit to Bonn and at a Democratic Action Party (SDA) meeting in Sarajevo. "Izetbegovic doesn't appear to be a sincere proponent of the Federation", Zubak said at a press conference in Mostar. He added that Izetbegovic's absence at a ceremony marking the first anniversary of the Washington Accords "reveals his attitude on the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina". Speaking of Izetbegovic's insisting that the Croat-Moslem Federation consist of cantons, Zubak said that the Federation's Constitution specified that the Federation consisted of cantons and - what Izetbegovic was constantly disregarding - of two nations having equal rights. Commenting on the kidnapped Croat HVO commander in Bihac, Gen. Vlado Santic, Zubak said that "Moslem political and military leaders bear all the responsibility" for his disappearance.
