ZAGREB, Nov 4 (Hina) - Ahead of today's talks with Yugoslav Foreign
Minister Vladislav Jovanovic, Minister Granic laid out Croatia's
standpoint in the forthoming series of talks.
According to Granic, mutual recognition within the
internationally recognised borderes was the keystone of the
normalisation of relations.
This included a peaceful reintegration of occupied Croatian
areas and the regulation of the status of ethnic minorities in both
states in line with UN Security Council resolutions, the Croatian
Constitution, the Human and Minority Rights Act and President
Tudjman's peace initiative, Minister Granic said on Wednesday.
Minister Jovanovic repeatedly said he expected the meeting to
deal with concrete issues such as the resumption of
telecommunications and cooperation in the field of transport,
culture, education and sport.
Jovanovic linked this series of talks with the possibility of
lifting trade sanctions against Yugoslavia.
"We believe the meeting will help both sides resolve such
issues as will not preempt a political settlement," he told the
Belgrade Independent TV on Wednesday.
The talks began at 10:00 hours by a preliminary meeting
between the two ministers and the co-chairmen of the Peace
Conference on Former Yugoslavia, Lord Owen and Thorvald
Stoltenberg.
Croatian and Yugoslav delegations are to join the talks later
on.
The Croatian side will be represented by the head of the
National Security Office, Krunoslav Olujic, Deputy Foreign Minister
Ivo Sanader, head of the Croatian office in Belgrade Zvonimir
Markovic, head of the office for succession affairs, Bozo Marendic
and foreign ministry officials Ivan Simonovic, Miroslav Medimorec
and Ivana Moric.
The Yugoslav delegation includes the head of the Yugoslav
Office in Zagreb, Veljko Knezevic, head of the foreign minister's
Cabinet Vlado Nadazdin, head of the delegation to the Conference on
Former Yugoslavia, Vojislav Milenkovic, and adviser at the Yugoslav
office in Zagreb, Momir Radosavljevic.
