ZAGREB, Sept 14 (Hina) - Talks today and yesterday between Croatian
and Bosnian delegations were a leap forward towards implementing
the Washington Agreements and for injecting life into the
Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, President Tudjman said.
Speaking immediately after the talks, the President said
the meetings also dealt with confederal elements of the
relationship between Croatia and the Federation of Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
President of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Alija
Izetbegovic, told reporters that consensus was reached about a
number of issues relative to the Washington Agreement - the
establishment of municipal and cantonal authorities in line with
the Federation's Constitution and the opening of the road linking
Metkovic (southern Croatia) and Doboj (northern Bosnia).
The two delegations also agreed to elaborate a program for
the speedy return of refugees and outlined the basic principles of
the organisation of the future Federation's army under a joint
command.
The Defence Ministry is soon to submit a draft defence bill
to the Federation's Parliament, President Izetbegovic said.
He said the deadlines for establishing municipal and
cantonal authorities were one and two months, respectively.
The talks were attended by Croatian Prime Minister, Nikica
Valentic and Deputy Prime Minister Mate Granic.
The Bosnian delegation included the President of the
Federation, Kresimir Zubak, the Federation's Premier Haris
Silajdzic and other officials.
