CROATIAN FOREIGN MINISTER SATISFIED WITH CSCE MEETING

ROME, Dec 1 (Hina) - "We can be very satisfied with a communiqué from the CSCE ministerial meeting," said Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic in a conversation with Croatian journalists following the two-day gathering in Rome on Wednesday evening. Croatia's permanent representative at the CSCE, Darko Bekic, said that the meeting mainly revolved around the European Union's plan for Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The communiqué said that ministers welcomed the resumption of peace talks in Geneva, which was a result of the European Union plan. It also said that the mutual recognition of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was one of the basic elements for stability in bilateral relations and in the whole region. The meeting took the view that the situation in the UNPAs obstructed the territorial integrity of Croatia, that the areas must be reintegrated into the Croatian system in a peaceful way, and that a modus vivendi must be found in the area under UN protection. The communiqué also mentioned a possibility of sending CSCE negotiators, which must be in coordination with the UNPROFOR operation and the Geneva talks. 012051 MET dec 93
