REPORT FROM EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF B-H HDZ

MOSTAR, March 1 (Hina/HABENA) - "The Croatian people in B-H is ready to accept only that type of B-H settlement which would secure the sovereignty of the Croatian people within its territorial entity", said the report from the meeting of the Executive Council of the B-H Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), held today in Mostar. The meeting addressed the solution of the crisis in B-H, especially the negotiations of the Croat and Muslim delegations, undergoing in Washington. "Any solution of the crisis in B-H that would not affirm the sovereignty of the Croatian people on a determined portion of the B-H territory would be contrary to the political will, historic right and interest of the Croatian people in B-H," said the report. Invoking historical examples, the meeting warned against dire consequences of sovereignty without territorial delimitation, which would inevitably result, seriatim, in the exodus, extinction and eventually the destruction of the Croatian people. While seeking a just and lasting peace, the Croatian people in B-H always has and will take into account the entire Croatian national interest, said the end of the report. 012007 MET mar 94
