PRESIDENT TUDJMAN TALKS WITH RICHARD HOLBROOKE

LONDON, May 7 (Hina) - Croatia's President Franjo Tudjman and US Undersecretary of State Richard Holbrooke held talks this morning in London. The talks focused on the issues how to continue peace process and to stop the war tensions following the liberation of western Slavonia. President Tudjman said he and his interlocutor reached a high degree of understanding, but problems remained in connection with the United Nations and general circumstances still not entirely defined as regards the UNCRO mandate in Croatia. Holbrooke agreed with Tudjman on his assessment of the situation and described their talks as good. Afterwards President Tudjman went to St. Paul's Cathedral to attend the service of reconciliation in honour of the 50th anniversary of the end of WW II in Europe. (hina) mms 071302 MET may 95
