BRITISH AMBASSADOR VISITS OSIJEK

OSIJEK, April 6 (Hina) - British Ambassador to Croatia, Gavin Wallace Hewit, is today visiting Osijek. Deputy Prefect of Osijek county, Mirko Barisin, received the British Ambassador and informed him of the consequences of the Serbian aggression in this region. Barisin stressed problems with the accommodation of displaced persons, the difficulties of the region's economy, which had suffered a loss of some 3.5 billion DM, and traffic isolation. Ambassador Hewit emphasized the importance of a "mutual recognition of all states on the territory of the former Yugoslavia within their internationally recognized borders", and added that in that respect the international community was continually exerting pressure on the Serbian President Milosevic.
