MINISTERIAL MEETING OF CENTRAL EUROPEAN INITIATIVE CLOSES

TRIESTE, March 5 (Hina) - A two-day ministerial meeting of the Central European Initiative closed on Saturday by adopting a final document on political and economic issues. The Trieste meeting welcomed the Washington Agreement as a way to reach peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina, incidentally becoming the first international instance to do so. The ministers firmly supported Croatia's sovereignty within the internationally recognised borders and expressed satisfaction with the process of normalisation of relations between Croatia and Serbia. The final document also urged countries members to speed up the introduction of market economy and privatisation. The ministers agreed to set up a task group to draw up projects for the reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina. 051449 MET mar 94
